The Hill: House Democrats and a handful of Republicans on Monday blocked the passage of the annual authorization for intelligence agencies under an expedited process, looking instead to bring it up in a way that allows for more debate.
The intelligence policy bill authorizing funds for the CIA, Defense Intelligence Agency, National Security Agency and other programs typically passes each year by wide bipartisan margins.
House GOP leaders scheduled it for a vote this week under a process, known as suspension of the rules, that limits debate to 40 minutes, forbids amendments and requires a two-thirds majority for passage.
