Congress Returns from Recess

iStock/Thinkstock(WASHINGTON) — After more than a month away from Washington, members of the House and Senate finally return to town Monday — even if there are just a few days of legislative business on the calendar before lawmakers go back into campaign mode ahead of Election Day.
While the House could consider a continuing resolution later this week to fund the government into the Lame Duck session, on Monday, lawmakers will ease back into it as they consider a dozen measures to rename post offices, among other non-controversial business.
Congressional leaders don’t meet with President Obama until Tuesday about his ISIS strategy, but on Monday evening, the House Intelligence Committee will receive a classified update from CIA and other agencies.
Obama is expected to give a speech this week outlining his strategy for taking on the threat posed by ISIS. He will use the speech to outline the nature of the threat — serious, but not an imminent threat to the homeland — and the strategy for confronting it.
It is not expected that the president will make any major new announcements.
