The House on Thursday completed its work on the annual appropriations bills for 2018, ahead of expected negotiations at the end of this year to keep the government funded.
By a vote of 211-198, the House passed a $1.2 trillion package of spending bills to fund wide swaths of the federal government, ranging from the Department of Homeland Security to the Environmental Protection Agency.
"This is a big day," Speaker Paul Ryan (R-Wis.) said, touting the House's use of regular order to pass the 12 bills.
"This is the first time the House has done that since 2009," he said.
