The House dispensed with a procedural issue Monday on a bill that would renew a powerful surveillance authority for two years, as Senate leaders of both parties stressed the need to reauthorize the program before it lapses on Friday.
Majority Leader Charles E. Schumer, D-N.Y., said Monday the Senate “must finish approving legislation” to extend Section 702 of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act.
But he noted that the chamber also will have to deal with impeachment articles for Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas set to arrive Tuesday.
