As the House gears up for an appropriations fight with the Senate, the likelihood of the two chambers agreeing on spending levels for the 12 appropriations bills by the Sep. 30 deadline is slim.
This means a continuing resolution — a short-term stop-gap measure that extends government funding at the prior year’s rate — is likely to happen to give Congress more time to pass the 12 appropriations bills.The House only has a total of 24 days in session between now and Sep. 30, when government funding runs out. They also only have 12 days in session before Sep. 1.
But because House Republicans have pledged to mark up the spending bills below the caps set in the debt ceiling bill in an effort to appease the fringe members of the Republican Conference, this sets up a fight with the Senate. “Obviously, making sure that we stay on schedule to get the bills done, don't put ourselves into a situation where we take too much time and aren’t able to do a negotiation,” Graves said. “I mean, that doesn't play into our hands very well, and it ends up pushing you into CR path, where I don't think we really want to be.”
But, this year, this is not an option, as House Republicans have made clear they will not support an omnibus package.
