Dec. 8, 2020 at 6:55 p.m. EST The House on Tuesday passed a bipartisan $741 billion defense authorization bill by a sizable veto-proof majority, throwing down the first of two expected gauntlets before President Trump, who has escalated his threat to scuttle the legislation.

It is also a sharp rebuke to Trump’s exhortations to Republicans to vote against the legislation: fewer than half of the GOP members who opposed the initial defense bill over the summer voted against the bipartisan compromise Tuesday.

This week, the Senate is expected to approve the same compromise bill passed by the House on Tuesday and send it to the president’s desk.

The NDAA passed with a margin of 335-78, well above the two-thirds that will be needed to override a presidential veto. Should president follow through on his veto threat, the two chambers would have to return over the Christmas holidays to vote on a veto override
