Congress barrels toward veto clash with Trump
Congress is preparing for a clash with President Trump over a mammoth defense bill that could result in the first veto override of his presidency, just a month before he leaves office.
Trump's threat to veto the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) could scramble Congress's year-end schedule; lawmakers had been hoping to leave town once they pass a forthcoming deal to fund the government and provide year-end coronavirus relief.
But leaders are warning that if Trump vetoes the bill they are prepared to return to Washington to vote on trying to override. Trump has issued eight vetoes, none of which have been successfully overridden.
House Majority Leader Steny Hoyer (D-Md.) and House Armed Services Committee Chairman Adam Smith (D-Wash.) have indicated that dealing with this particular veto would be worth members flying back D.C.
