Negotiations are ongoing for the 11 remaining fiscal 2017 spending bills.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Democrats are seeking domestic spending increases in exchange for a White House-requested defense increase and to exclude what they term &#8220;poison pill&#8221; policy riders. The defense increase in play is reported to be $15 billion, half of the $30 billion Trump requested in March.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., declined to confirm the amount and suggested the matter is not entirely settled. &#8220;That&#8217;s part of the discussions,&#8221; Schumer said. &#8220;Democrats are not averse to an increase in defense, but we want an increase in other things, too.&#8221; <br\/> <br\/><\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Senate approved the CR by unanimous consent an hour after the House had passed it in a largely bipartisan vote, 382-30. Democrats and Republicans roughly split the &#8220;no&#8221; votes. <br\/><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&#8220;I am optimistic that a full-year appropriations package will be completed soon,&#8221; House Appropriations Committee Chairman Rodney Frelinghuysen, R-N.J., said following the House vote. &#8220;Congress must fulfill our constitutional duty and provide responsible funding for the federal government for the rest of this fiscal year.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Democrats had threatened to oppose the continuing resolution without a deal in hand, but House Minority Whip Steny Hoyer signaled support even though &#8220;there are still significant items that are not resolved.&#8221; The Democrat from Maryland said he expected House Republicans to have a spending bill filed Monday night for passage on Thursday. <br\/> <br\/> <b><a class=\"\" href=\"http:\/\/caucus.militarytimes.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Link: null\">Check out our Congressional Veterans Caucus page to get an in-depth look at lawmakers who have served in the U.S. military.<\/a><\/b><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Fiscal 2017 began at the end of September, but CRs have become the norm in Congress. Lawmakers would almost certainly have agreed to a full-year spending deal in the fall, but at Trump&#8217;s request, GOP leadership punted to give the new administration a chance to add its stamp.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Along with Democrats, some Republicans \u2014 particularly pro-defense lawmakers \u2014 have groused the stopgap bill was needed. Because CRs generally bar new-start acquisition programs and continue funding at the previous year&#8217;s level, they can be disruptive to the military.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&#8220;The continuing resolution is never anyone&#8217;s first choice for funding the government. However, this is our best path forward,&#8221; Frelinghuysen said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The U.S. Congress approved a continuing resolution that would extend government
