The House passed a $738 billion compromise defense policy bill on Wednesday in a 377 to 48 vote that would create a Space Force as the newest military service.
The bill will head to Senate, where wide bipartisan support is also likely. President Donald Trump said he would sign the bill if it reaches his desk.
Trump praised the bill for incorporating his top priorities: a pay raise for the military, border security, a space force and paid parental leave, an issue his daughter, Ivanka, has advocated for previously.
