My colleagues and I pushed to have a separate vote on the ISIL language because we felt the authorization request from the president deserved its own debate separately from the other components in the CR. “With passage of this bill today, we have sent a clear message to the president that we will not blindly accept whatever legislation this administration forces upon us. We wrote this on our terms, and the entire House came together to pass it. I hope the Senate will move quickly to pass this important legislation so we can get it on the president’s desk.” Prior to the passage of the continuing resolution, Rep. Scalise took to the House floor to speak in support of the ISIL amendment. Click HERE to watch the video. | 1 | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z |
