But a day later, House Armed Services Chairman Adam Smith, D-Wash., said a stripped-down version of the measure wouldn\u2019t solve all of lawmakers\u2019 problems.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Negotiations on the broader measure have stalled in recent weeks as Democrats and Republicans have fought over military construction money used for President Donald Trump\u2019s controversial border wall project.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The authorization bill has been a rare point of bipartisanship over the decades, passing for 58 fiscal years. Lawmakers on both sides say they don\u2019t want recent fights over military deployments in Syria and the House\u2019s ongoing impeachment probe to break that streak.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<strong>Tuesday, Oct.
