This bill was brought to the floor where it required a 2/3 majority. When the Dems voted no, the house then brought the bill up again under regular order the next day, where it passed with the majority. The Senate then tabled it, and the President threatened to veto it.
Not to mention the full appropriations bill for the DOD and everything that entails for the vets, military etc was passed by the house with over 400 votes in June. The Senate tabled that as well, and never took the vote.
