Now, I won't go so far as Ivanka to compare Trump to TR (after all, he had to be convinced of it while TR would have been the one to suggest it), but if he ends up signing it I will applaud it.

Of course, as the House was passing the bill his administration was laying the groundwork to approve a potentially devastating mine in Alaska and has been chipping away at all sorts of environmental regulations. So one step forward after hundreds of steps back doesn't do much, but it is something.

As an overview who proposed this and did it pass with a large bipartisan approval?  I honestly don't remember.
