In the US why is it possible to tie two things together in one vote in the House, that are completely unrelated to each other?

How is it possible that foreign aid and a TikTok bill are in the same bill. That to me sounds like having to vote to accept one thing but also another thing that is completely unrelated.

It’s a feature of our two party system. In order for one side to get what they want, they hold the other sides wants hostage to get it.

If there was just a Tik tok ban vote, it would be struck down by not garnering enough votes against it… Because that’s the way our parties are set up. But if you tie it together with foreign aid bill… Me and my lackeys will vote for it…There’s probably like 30 other things snuck into the bill as well.
