    OK
    has this bill got teeth?

    Will this eventually lead to cessation of all support for/of Saudi Arabia?

    If the Reps can blame the war in Yemen on Obama, this bill can get through.
    To grow real teeth, it has to get past Trump's financial interests - among others. The Saudis are rich.
    For cessation of all support for Saudi Arabia by the US, probably the Republican Party would have to be destroyed.
