Section 702, first enacted in 2008, allows U.S. intelligence agencies to collect communications of foreign nationals abroad without a warrant, including messages exchanged with Americans. Critics argue this creates a backdoor that enables warrantless surveillance of U.S. citizens.

Thursday's vote marked the second short-term extension of Section 702 in less than a month. Congress had previously passed a 10-day patch on April 17 after the House failed to advance a longer-term reauthorization ahead of the law's original expiration date.

The Senate rejected a House bill that would have extended Section 702 for three years. Senate Majority Leader John Thune called the measure "dead on arrival" because it included an unrelated provision banning the Federal Reserve from issuing a central bank digital currency.

Privacy advocates in both parties have demanded a warrant requirement before intelligence agencies can query Section 702 databases for Americans' communications. Sen. Ron Wyden secured a commitment that a classified FISA court ruling on surveillance abuses would be sought for declassification.

The 261-111 House vote passed under a suspension of the rules, requiring a two-thirds supermajority. Fifty-eight lawmakers did not vote, 94 Democrats backed the extension and 26 Republicans opposed it, reflecting bipartisan division over the measure.
