The House of Representatives voted down a bill Thursday that would have extended the intelligence community’s warrantless surveillance powers by three weeks. The measure, which needed a two-thirds majority to pass, failed to even get a simple majority, with 198 voting in favor and 218 voting against. Nineteen Republicans voted against the extension, while seven Democrats and independent Kevin Kiley of California voted for it. The spying authority, known as Section 702 of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act, will expire at 11:59 p.m. Friday unless Congress approves an extension. So far, lawmakers have refused to do so in protest of President Trump appointing federal housing regulator Bill Pulte as acting director of national intelligence to replace Tulsi Gabbard.
