Washington (CNN) The House of Representatives passed a multi-billion dollar disaster relief bill Monday, sending the measure to the White House for President Donald Trump's signature. But despite the green light from the President, a handful of House Republicans held up passage of the measure last week after the Senate passed the bill. It only takes one objection from a lawmaker to block the passage of a bill by unanimous consent. Congressional Democrats condemned the move, which held up the bill for an additional week. But even before that snag, the disaster relief bill faced serious hurdles to passage.
