The measure passed Monday night on a vote of 275 to 144, two fewer than it received last week. But this time, no two-thirds super-majority was required for passage, only a simple majority…

Democrats tried to derail Monday night’s vote by moving to send the bill back to the House Judiciary Committee. The motion, submitted by Rep. Mike Thompson (D-Calif.), ultimately failed on a 186-to-234 vote, with only a handful of Republicans bucking their party.

The motion would have added language to the measure stating that investigations of U.S. citizens under an extended authority “shall be conducted in a manner that complies with the Constitution of the United States,” including the Bill of Rights, and would have expedited any federal court proceedings involving investigations of U.S. citizens related to the Patriot Act.
