Yesterday, the House started voting on amendments to the FY 2016 National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA).
I am going to highlight the amendments on which the Democratic caucus split. On Mo Brooks (AL-05)'s amendment to bar DREAMers from serving in the military, Democrats were unanimously opposed. 20 Republicans joined them, but it still passed 221 to 202. If you're curious to see who the 20 Republicans are, just click the link.
Gitmo
Every year, Jackie Walorski and Adam Smith offer competing amendments on Gitmo. (Obama also always makes a false promise to veto the NDAA because of its constraints on closing Gitmo). This year was no different.
Jackie Walorski (IN-02) offered an amendment to extend the constraints on closing Gitmo for two years (beyond the FY 2016 period covered by the bill), bar transfers to Yemen, and bar use of the Defense secretary’s national security waiver authority to transfer prisoners to combat zones.
It passed 243 to 180.
234 Republicans and 9 Democrats voted for it. 173 Democrats and 7 Republicans voted against it.
