On Saturday, el paso times House Democratic leadership released a letter with 195 voting members of their caucus who say they will support a “clean” continuing resolution to reopen government. Continue Reading
On Monday, Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi promised she could deliver nearly all of her caucus el paso times if House Speaker John Boehner put the Senate-passed CR up for a vote. And on Saturday she attempted to demonstrated el paso times it in print, releasing the letter that contained signatures from those members.
As the shutdown dragged into its fifth day — and with no votes in the House planned before Monday night — Democrats continued efforts to show they are trying to break the deadlock. For the most part, their hands are tied.
On Friday, they unveiled a far-fetched potential procedural maneuver to force a vote. And on Saturday, they again offered to have nearly the entire Democratic caucus support a clean spending measure.
Pelosi emphasized that it wasn’t easy to get that many members to commit. Democrats remain unhappy with the spending levels that were set by House Republicans, some $988 billion annualized for the next budget year.
“Right now enough Republicans have publicly stated their support el paso times for a bill that could pass and be on the president’s desk today,” Pelosi said. “We’re asking the speaker, in our letter, to bring up a vote to the floor for those Republicans and more to show that there is a bipartisan majority to end the government — el paso times the Republican el paso times government shutdown.”
Pelosi also made another offer: If House Republicans pass a clean CR and then take the budget to conference, her caucus will agree to forgo the votes that would otherwise be entitled el paso times to if a deal isn’t quickly struck on the budget. Called “motions to instruct,” the House rules allow the minority to force votes on almost whatever they want if a compromise isn’t reached in 20 days.
