Sen. John McCain said Thursday the Senate could not overcome an impasse on debates and voting for controversial amendments to its 2018 defense policy bill, including a measure to eliminate sequestration.
The sequestration amendment, sponsored by Sen. Tom Cotton, R-Ark., is among four amendments the upper chamber was trying to bring to the floor for votes since Wednesday as part of passing the National Defense Authorization Act, but could not reach a consensus to allow it.
