Trump has threatened to veto the defense bill, which includes salary increases for U.S. soldiers and modernization of equipment, because it does not include the repeal of Article 230, a law that protects Internet companies from liability for what is posted on their websites by them or third parties.
The bill also contains provisions to limit how much money Trump can move around for its border wall and to require the military to rename bases named after figures from the Confederacy.
Trump has said he opposes the US military’s efforts to rename the nearly one dozen large bases and installations bearing the names of the Confederate military commanders – and he raised the issue in his veto message in addition to his Article 230 complaints.
“I was clearly in opposition to politically motivated efforts such as these to wash away history and dishonor the tremendous progress our country has fought to achieve our fundamentals,” the message read.
A disagreement in the Senate over stimulus controls led to a protracted timeline for final dominance after Vermont Independent Senator Bernie Sanders indicated Monday night that he would postpone a quick vote unless Senate leader Mitch McConnell, ” A Republican from Kentucky, would bring a vote on $ 2,000 stimulus checks to the floor. That vote never took place and the Senate voted Friday afternoon to end the debate on veto domination.
