Senator Steve Daines today blasted President Obama's unprecedented veto of the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA), which provides critical support for the nation's military and national security and passed both chambers of Congress with overwhelming bipartisan support:\r\nIt is reckless that the Commander-in-Chief is holding hostage critical support for the safety and security of our nation's service members. Congress sent a clear and strong bipartisan message to the President that the American people support prioritizing and protecting the needs of the brave men and women serving our country. To deny our troops needed stability while serving both here at home and in dangerous theaters abroad is incomprehensible and wrong. Today's actions prove President Obama is once again choosing to lead from behind. In the coming weeks, I look forward to casting my vote to override the President's shameful veto.\r\nThe NDAA overwhelmingly passed the United States Senate by a veto-proof majority of 70-27 onOctober 7, 2015and the House of Representatives onOctober 1, 2015on a vote of 270-156.\r\nThe NDAA provides much-needed support for Montana's military missions, including:\r\n \r\n$19.7 million for the Tactical Response Force Alert Facility at Malmstrom.\r\n$4.26 million for an energy conservation project at Malmstrom.\r\nAuthorizes funding for AMP Increments I and II to ensure that our C-130s are able to stay in the air.\r\nAuthorizes funding for C-130 engine modifications.\r\nIt expresses the sense of theCongress that the nuclear triad plays a critical role in ensuring national security and that it is the policy of the U.S. to operate, sustain, and modernize or replace the triad and to operate and modernize or replace a capability to forward-deploy nuclear weapons and dual-cable fighter-bomberaircraft.\r\n \r\nThe House of Representatives has scheduled a vote onNovember 5, 2015to override the President's veto.\r\n###\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\n\t  \n\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t \n\t\t\n\t\t\tPrint\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\tEmail\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\tTweet\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\n\t \n\t\n\t\n\n\t\n\t\n\t\n  \n\t\n    \n    \n    \n    \n    \n    \t\n    \t\n\t    \t  \n\t\t    \n\t\t    \tPrevious Article\n\t\t    \n\t\t    \n\t\t    \tNext Article", 1, "2026-03-30T12:14:52Z", "2026-03-30T12:14:52Z"]], "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://www.daines.senate.gov/news/press-releases/daines-presidents-disregard-for-our-troops-is-shameful"], "units": {}, "query_ms": 1.5430510975420475, "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"}
