WASHINGTON — Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy of California is threatening to delay passage of the fiscal 2023 defense-authorization bill until January when Republicans take control of the House – and likely make him speaker.
Meanwhile, Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., has decided to cancel a floor vote on the upper chamber’s version of the legislation and instead proceed directly to a compromise bill with the House. This would mark the second year in a row that the Senate has not held a vote on its own version of the bill.

That would be illegal. And as Congress determines their own pay, good luck getting them to change it so that it would be legal

Sarcasm, no doubt.
Or more likely, you don’t understand how congressional pay works.

Some things never change. Defense Authorization Bill has been a political football for as long as I can rrmember.

Everyone remember which party wants to delay the bill next time you want to say how pro military they are.

Lt Col John (Jack) Christensen Have you forgotten whose regime fired thousands of service members because they refused to take the unproven COVID "vaccine"? Have you forgotten whose regime is wokifying our military, which can't even find enough recruits to maintain operational strength? Oh, I forgot that you are a waterboy for their Marxist ideology...

SGT Steve McFarland Have you forgotten what happens to someone who disobeys an order? When you've sat hard nuclear alert for as long as I have, we can begin a discussion on who is a Marxist waterboy.

Unfortunately SCOTUS ruled congressional term limits unconstitutional in 1995 so either they'd have to overturn that ruling or Congress has to add an amendment making congressional term limits. Neither is likely to happen.
But we can ensure they have term limits by voting people out who aren't doing their jobs.
