A $94.6 billion war supplemental cleared the Senate by a 67-33 vote shortly before midnight Friday, sending to a divided House a package that pairs munitions replenishment and veterans’ medical care with a quarterly certification clause the White House has spent two weeks trying to strip from the bill.

The final tally, announced at 11:42 p.m. by Senate President Pro Tempore Charles Grassley, included 13 Republicans joining every Democrat and the chamber’s two independents. Senate Appropriations Chair Susan Collins of Maine, who managed the bill on the floor, said in a brief statement on the Capitol steps after the vote that the chamber had produced “a bipartisan answer to a war that ended three weeks ago and a question, about how Congress oversees the next one, that has not.”

The package authorizes $61 billion in munitions replenishment, $14.2 billion in ship-repair funding concentrated at Norfolk and Bremerton, $9.1 billion for war-related veterans’ medical care, $4.6 billion for an Iraq and Yemen reconstruction tranche administered through the State Department, and $1.8 billion in Defense Health Agency mental-health funding added in committee markup. A new inspector general for wartime procurement would stand up within 90 days.

The certification clause, the bill’s most politically charged provision, conditions release of $4.2 billion in unobligated Iran-theater funds on a quarterly written certification from the Defense Secretary that no offensive operations are underway absent congressional authorization. Drafted with Sens. Tim Kaine, D-Va., and Mike Lee, R-Utah, it survived three Republican amendments aimed at gutting it, including a Wednesday vote that fell 49-51 when Sens. Lisa Murkowski of Alaska and Rand Paul of Kentucky broke with most of their conference.

“This bill is not a victory lap. It is a balance sheet, and an instruction,” Kaine said in a brief floor speech before the final vote. “We are paying for the war we just fought, and we are telling the executive branch how to ask for the next one.”

The vote shifts the political weight to a House that returns Monday with two interlocking fights on its calendar: a discharge-petitioned floor vote on the Senate-passed war powers resolution, now formally scheduled for Tuesday after the petition crossed 218 signatures on Wednesday afternoon, and the supplemental itself, which Speaker Mike Johnson’s office said Friday would be referred to the Appropriations Committee on Monday with an eye toward floor consideration “in the second half of next week.”

Johnson, in a written statement issued at 12:14 a.m. Saturday, called the Senate package “broadly responsible on the warfighter pieces and structurally problematic on the certification piece” and said the House would “work in regular order to produce a bill the president can sign.” He did not commit to keeping the certification clause intact.

Inside the House Republican conference, the certification language is the principal flashpoint. A bloc of roughly 22 members organized around Reps. Brian Fitzpatrick of Pennsylvania and Don Bacon of Nebraska has signaled it will vote against any version that strips the provision; a second bloc of roughly 28 Freedom Caucus-aligned members has told leadership it will vote against any version that retains it. Johnson’s working majority is six.

“The speaker is being asked to thread a needle through two needles,” said Carlos Vega, a former House Republican leadership aide now at the American Enterprise Institute. “If he strips the language, his moderates walk and the bill fails. If he keeps it, his right walks and he passes the bill with Democratic votes, which is the one outcome leadership cannot survive politically. The likeliest endgame is a managers’ amendment that softens the certification rather than removes it, and then a conference.”

Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries of New York, in a Saturday-morning statement, said House Democrats would “vote in support of a supplemental that protects American service members and respects the constitutional role of Congress” but declined to specify the floor at which Democratic support would collapse. A senior Democratic aide, granted anonymity to describe whip discussions, said “a clean strip of the certification language is a non-starter for the overwhelming majority of our members.”

The White House response to Friday’s vote was measured. Press Secretary Marlena Cortez, in a written statement issued at 1:08 a.m. Saturday, said the administration “appreciates the Senate’s continued support for the warfighter and the veterans of this conflict” while reiterating its view that the certification clause “raises serious constitutional concerns that the House will, we trust, address.” President Donald Trump, in a Truth Social post at 8:21 a.m. Saturday from his Bedminster, New Jersey, golf club, called the Senate vote “a big win for our troops” but added that “the war-powers nonsense buried inside has to come out before this ever gets to my desk.”

Two senior administration officials, speaking on condition of anonymity to describe internal deliberations, said the White House counsel’s office had over the past week sharpened the signing-statement language it would attach if a version retaining any certification clause cleared both chambers. Under the current draft, the president would sign the bill but issue a statement asserting that the certification requirement does not legally constrain his Article II authority.

“The president is going to get this money to the Pentagon. The question is what the bill says on its way to him,” one of the officials said. “He is not going to veto a supplemental that puts new SM-6s on destroyers because of paragraph 412(c).”

Outside the Capitol, the political backdrop continued to soften. University of Michigan consumer-sentiment data released Friday showed the sharpest one-month improvement since November, Brent crude settled below $90 a barrel for the first time since the war began, and the national average pump price has eased to $3.13 a gallon, according to AAA. Treasury Secretary Mira Goldfarb, in a Friday-afternoon appearance at the Council on Foreign Relations in New York, called the combination “the first sustained reading of a post-war economy” and said the administration would press Congress to clear the supplemental “before Memorial Day, in a form the president can sign.”

The House Rules Committee is scheduled to meet Monday at 5 p.m. to set parameters for the war powers floor vote, with the supplemental hearing in Appropriations expected Tuesday morning. Aides said floor action on the spending package was likely no earlier than Thursday. Leadership in both parties said additional steps on the war powers and supplemental tracks would be announced after the House sets its schedule Monday evening.
