TL;DR Summary

The House approved a two-year extension of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA) in a bipartisan vote, declining to attach an amendment requiring a warrant for some searches. The bill reauthorizes warrantless surveillance powers and includes reforms to FISA Section 702, but the failure to include the warrant requirement amendment has sparked debate. Speaker Mike Johnson faced challenges in facilitating compromise on the controversial topic, and the bill's passage marks a win for him. The road ahead remains rocky for Johnson as he navigates a contentious debate over sending aid to Ukraine and faces a threat by Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene to force a vote on ousting him.
