Lawmakers Return to Long Lame Duck To-Do List on Capitol Hill
Published at
iStock/Thinkstock(WASHINGTON) — The House and Senate returned Monday for the final two-week stretch of the lame duck session with a number of items on the to-do list.
Lawmakers must strike a deal to fund the government or face the prospect of another government shutdown.
Other items include tax extenders and a potential debate over whether the president has the authority to fight ISIS.
Monday’s return is also the GOP’s first time back at the Capitol since President Obama announced the executive action on immigration over a week ago — an issue that some worry could tie up government funding.
