The defense appropriations bill is due up immediately after that, but Democrats already have vowed to block it over Republicans&#8217; use of overseas contingency funds to get around broader spending caps.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In the House on Wednesday, Defense Secretary Ash Carter and Joint Chiefs Chairman Army Gen.
