Congress is barreling toward a veto showdown with President Trump over the mammoth must-pass annual defense policy bill.
The House is scheduled to take up the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) on Tuesday, and the Senate is expected to follow shortly after.
Both chambers are expected to have strong bipartisan votes in favor, even as Trump has repeatedly threatened to veto the $740 billion measure.
Lawmakers are holding out hope Trump will back down if the bill passes with more than two-thirds support in each chamber, the amount needed to override a veto.
But if he follows through with his threat, it’s unclear how many Republicans would buck Trump and hand him the first veto override of his presidency.
