The Senate Will Jam the House Again

May 8, 2024 · 6:25 am ET · Leave a Comment

“It’s going to happen again. The Senate is about to jam the House once more — this time on the five-year FAA reauthorization bill,” Punchbowl News reports.

“Regardless of when it ultimately gets done and what might hitch a ride on it, the House will have little choice but to swallow whatever the Senate passes to reauthorize the nation’s aviation programs.”

“House GOP leaders know they’ll have to move quickly on the must-pass FAA bill when they receive it from the Senate, which could be well after the Friday night deadline. In the meantime, House and Senate leaders are working to ensure it doesn’t turn into a ‘Christmas tree’ of sorts for unrelated legislation.”
