But we\u2019ve already been doing work on what those policies would look like on a national defense authorization.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">House Armed Services Committee Chairman Mike Rogers, R-Ala., announced in a last-minute statement on Tuesday that the NDAA markup would be postponed until \u201cthe near future.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">House Speaker Kevin McCarthy, R-Calif., met with President Joe Biden and other congressional leaders at the White House on Tuesday to discuss the debt ceiling, but the parties involved noted no progress was made on the issue.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen has told Congress that the U.S. will default on its debts by June 1 absent congressional action to raise the ceiling.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">House Republicans passed a bill last month along party lines that would raise the debt ceiling in exchange for several concessions, including $130 billion in discretionary spending cuts. The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.defensenews.com\/congress\/budget\/2023\/02\/09\/republicans-aim-at-pentagon-civilian-workforce-to-curb-spending\/\" target=\"_blank\">defense budget accounts for roughly half<\/a> of annual discretionary spending.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Democrats are arguing Congress should pass a clean debt ceiling bill as congressional Republicans did under former President Donald Trump.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">After Scalise noted the delay was due to the debt ceiling fight, Rep. Mikie Sherrill of New Jersey became the first Democrat on the House Armed Services Committee to come out swinging against the postponement. She accused Republican leaders of \u201cputting partisan politics and a right-wing agenda above our national security, military readiness and the wellbeing of our servicemembers\u201d as part of their \u201cirresponsible attitude toward the debt ceiling.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThis bill is the legislative linchpin of our national security,\u201d Sherrill said in a statement. \u201cIt\u2019s how Congress sets our national security policy, exercises oversight of the Department of Defense, and invests in military research and innovation. It\u2019s also the legislation that raises servicemember salaries and provides for childcare and healthcare for military families.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Rep. Adam Smith of Washington, the top Democrat on the same committee, blamed McCarthy for the markup delay \u201cbecause reality has come crashing in on this ridiculous, hypocritical fantasy.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cRepublican leadership has been arguing both that President Biden\u2019s very substantial defense budget proposal is <a href=\"https:\/\/www.defensenews.com\/congress\/budget\/2023\/03\/10\/gop-blasts-inadequate-biden-defense-budget-as-it-vows-spending-cuts\/\" target=\"_blank\">somehow billions of dollars less than it must be to meet our defense needs<\/a>, and that we must make massive cuts to our discretionary budget to meet their idea of what fiscal responsibility would look like,\u201d Smith said in a statement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Senate has not officially scheduled a markup for its version of the FY24 NDAA. Politico first reported on Tuesday that the House delayed the NDAA markup.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cWe will be prepared to pass a robust NDAA,\u201d said Rep. Elise Stefanik, R-N.Y., the chair of the House Republican Conference and a member of the House Armed Services Committee. \u201cThe NDAA is the one bill that every single year we\u2019ve been able to deliver and pass, certainly since I\u2019ve been in Congress, but for decades.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The House\u2019s markup of the fiscal 2024 National Defense
