(Worthy News) – The lame-duck Congress could be facing a rare post-holiday return to Capitol Hill if President Trump follows through on a threat to veto a massive $740 billion defense policy bill in the coming days, a top House Democrat said Monday.
House Armed Services Committee Chairman Adam Smith, Washington Democrat, told reporters that lawmakers could be summoned to Washington during their annual end-of-year break to push the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) through, a bill that has annually been approved with bipartisan support for nearly 60 years.
Mr. Trump has issued several threats to block the must-pass legislation — which sets military spending levels, gives soldiers a pay raise, and offers policy guidance on a vast range of military and security issues — because lawmakers have refused to add the repeal of a regulation offering a legal shield to social media companies such as Facebook for the content on their sites.
