Tidelands Bill Moves Through House Amid Treaty Clash
The House backed a tidelands bill by 270 to 92 to fix perceived Supreme Court mis rulings on coastal boundaries and submerged lands. Critics warn of federal overreach into oil deposits, while the measure faces Senate approval and a possible presidential veto. The economy drive also shifts public housing from 50,000 to 50,000 units in Senate action, with a narrow recommit vote in the House.
