It wasn’t a one-man effort.
The Iron Dome bill passed the Senate Friday by voice vote and passed the House by a overwhelming 395-8 vote later in the day.

Congress might have approved the bill last week, but as much as people say they want Obama and Congress to work together, plenty weren’t happy to see the president put his pen to work, though many seemed to have missed that Iron Dome is a defense system.
