The House on Tuesday overwhelmingly approved a $700 billion defense policy bill that violates a 2018 budget cap by authorizing military spending on additional ships, aircraft, and troops.

The 356-70 vote sends the final version of the National Defense Authorization Act to the Senate, where it is also expected to pass and be sent to President Trump for his signature, even though there is no clear plan in Congress on how to fund the annual bill.
