House may vote on bill tonight. Back to teetering on edge.


Posted: Jan 1, 2013

1. House conservatives opposed want to add $300 billion in spending cuts that the Senate deferred for 60 days. This would kill the bill for now. House Whip supposedly looking for the 217 votes that would be needed to add the amendment. 

2. If the 217 votes are not found, Speaker Boehner is telling his caucus he would like to put the bill (without addition of a kill-it-dead amendment) to the House for an up-or-down vote. If that happened, moderate GOP and Dems would come together to almost certainly pass it.

Update: Feeling now is reportedly that much of the GOP is worried about the first option "blowing up in their faces" and that it likely will be put for an up-or-down vote, in which case when the U.S. stock markets open in the morning the deal will be done. This part of it, anyway.

Good TV Tonight--Rep. Nancy Pelosi, House Dem LeaderNov 15, 2012

The House Passed The Spending BillMar 06, 2013
Republicans passed it. Democrats were against it because it still included the $85 billion sequester dollars.  "The Senate isn't going to accept this bill," Senate Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) said during debate.  Despite Democratic complaints, the House passed the bill easily in a 267-151 vote in which 53 Democrats supported it, likely because it will help avoid a government shutdown. Just 14 Republicans voted against it. Dems wanted Sequester, now they don't! ...

House Passes Doc Fix Bill TodayMar 26, 2015

House Defeats TPA By A Huge Vote.Jun 12, 2015
The vote was 302-126. The House killed a worker aid bill that was tied to the president's main agenda item -- legislation that would give Obama "fast-track" authority to negotiate trade deals. Without it, the trade push withers for now. The vote marked a stunning blow for the president at the hands of his own party, with Nancy Pelosi and labor unions helping drive the stake into the legislation in the end. The biggest defection for Obama came when Pelosi joined the rebellion in opposi ...

Before going home for a month of vacation for summer recess, the House has passed their 40th bill to repeal or dismantle Obamacare.  Fortieth bill!  Why?  I guess because they thought that was a good use of taxpayers' money, passing yet another bill that would go absolutely nowhere, and maybe that the Democrats had just overlooked the first 39?
