House votes 312-112 to pass the National Defense Authorization Act, and the Senate will vote next week; if both chambers exceed the absolute majority, Congress can override the President's veto, and the bill will finally take effect,
The National Defense Authorization Act of Congress differs significantly from the federal national security strategy regarding Europe, for example:
Prohibits stationing fewer than 76,000 troops in Europe
Pauses sharing intelligence with Ukraine, requiring 48 hours' notice to Congress
Reports on military aid quarterly, etc.
Given the many differences between the two this year, the National Defense Authorization Act may be vetoed by the President, but if both the House and the Senate pass it with an absolute majority, the President's veto power will be overridden.
The U.S. National Defense Authorization Act and the National Security Strategy are products of different branches of power. The NDAA (National Defense Authorization Act) is a hard tool used by Congress to exercise its "money bag" power and shape specific policies; the NSS (National Security Strategy) is a soft guideline set by the President to determine macro strategic direction. The differences and tensions between them are typical examples of the checks and balances between the legislative and executive branches, as well as the impact of domestic politics on foreign policy.
