The legislation now moves to the Senate for further consideration.\n\n\u201cThis is a good bill. It gives our troops a much-deserved pay raise, fully funds our military, prohibits servicemembers from being dishonorably discharged for refusing a COVID-19 vaccine, and finally holds the Biden Administration accountable for their failed withdrawal from Afghanistan. I am proud to support this year\u2019s defense bill and even more proud that it supports the men and women who put their lives on the line every day to keep us safe.\u201d\n\nAn earlier draft of the FY22 NDAA included a \u201cred flag\u201d provision that would have stripped some members of the military of their Second Amendment Rights without due process. Congressman Graves joined dozens of his colleagues in demanding the language be removed from the bill in September. The language was not included in the final bill.", 1, "2026-03-30T01:40:41Z", "2026-04-06T20:37:48Z"]], "columns": ["url", "title", "date", "year", "month", "party", "chamber", "state", "member_name", "bioguide_id", "domain", "scraper", "source", "date_source", "text", "has_text", "collected_at", "updated_at"], "primary_keys": ["url"], "primary_key_values": ["https://graves.house.gov/media/press-releases/graves-votes-annual-defense-bill"], "units": {}, "query_ms": 1.451132819056511, "source": "dwillis/congress-press", "source_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press", "license": "MIT", "license_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press/blob/main/LICENSE"}
