Oh, wait, didn't Obama claim similar concerns over NDAA? Good that he vetoed that bill.

NDAA = National Defense Authorization Act. It's the legislation that's passed every year to basically keep the Department of Defense in existence.
This is, of course, why we really need a line-item veto amendment. Because Congress can basically make a provision "un-vetoable" by including it in some giant appropriations bill.
Because it would obviously make sense to cut off funding for Veteran's health and ongoing security operations just to head off anyone telling outrageous stretchers about how it creates "martial law".
Either way, the GOP wins
