 House Republicans to vote on 45-day, clean stopgap funding bill
by Emily Brooks and Mychael Schnell - 09/30/23 11:18 AM ET

The House will vote Saturday on a 45-day “clean” stopgap funding bill that includes money for disaster relief, a major turn in strategy for Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) ahead of a midnight shutdown deadline.

The clean continuing resolution (CR) will come up for a vote around noon, and would require support from two-thirds of the House for passage because it is being considered under a fast-tracked mechanism called suspension of the rules. That means it would rely heavily on Democratic support to pass.

It will not have border policy changes, a non-starter for Democrats, or funds for Ukraine that some Republicans opposed.

McCarthy announced the plan following a nearly two-hour closed-door conference meeting.

“We will put a clean funding stopgap on the floor to keep government open for 45 days for the House and Senate to get their work done,” McCarthy told reporters after the meeting. “We will also, knowing what had transpired through the summer, the disasters in Florida, the horrendous fire in Hawaii, and also the disasters in California and Vermont. We will put the supplemental portion that the president asked for in disaster there too.”

“Keeping the government open while we continue to do our work to end the wasteful spending and the wokeism and most important, secure our border,” he added.

House Republicans to vote on 'clean' stopgap funding bill despite conservative outrage
The short-term spending bill is meant to last 45 days
By Elizabeth Elkind , Houston Keene Fox News
Published September 30, 2023 11:32am EDT

The House of Representatives will vote Saturday on a short-term spending bill aimed at avoiding a government shutdown.

The funding patch would last for 45 days past the end of the fiscal year, which concludes at midnight Sunday, Oct. 1. The bill would also include $16 billion for U.S. disaster relief aid that President Biden requested over the summer, Speaker Kevin McCarthy, R-Calif., said on Saturday.

The bill would also be a "clean" extension of the current year's funding priorities, which were set by the Democrat-held Congress last year.

It comes after House Republicans tried and failed to pass a stopgap funding bill, known as a continuing resolution (CR), filled with conservative policy items like border security and spending cuts.

The bill is being expedited past normal processes, and will need two-thirds of the House for approval — meaning Democrats will have to vote in favor of the plan for it to pass.

House Republicans to vote on 45-day, clean stopgap funding bill

By "clean", they mean a spending bill that continues spending at the Democrats' 2022 levels.

   Of course, it's the same as it ever was.  They have had 8 months to figure this $hit out.  McCarthy is a failed leader; just like Mcdaniels, McConnell and the guy that endorsed them all~DJT.

House Republicans had a chance to vote for a bill that had 8% cuts plus border security, but the "conservative" hardliners voted it down.  So...we get this instead.  Way to go, guys!!

I thought Revenue measures had to originate in the House. Did I miss something?

   Indeed it is unconstitutional, they started this $hit in getting obummycare enacted.

It was never a question of figuring it out.  It was always a question of a group that never wanted McCarthy in the first place.  They've been voting not just against individual spending bills, but even bringing them to the floor in the first place.  So they vote against bringing individual spending bills to the floor, then blast McCarthy as to why the bills haven't been passed.  It was a set-up from the start.

That's why the rest of the caucus is so pissed that them.  The "dysfunction" is a deliberate strategy to sabotage the Speaker.

[Maj. Bill Martin]

They did pass an appropriations bill.  Just one big one instead of 12 separate ones.  That may not be what we want to see, but there's nothing in the Constitution mandating separate appropriations bills for each Department.  That's just a convention that developed over time.

This isn't a revenue bill.  It's a spending bill.

Apparently it’s hard to read our rules.

If Matt scrolls down a little bit further, the conference rules governing suspensions also provides for a waiver and states:

(1) Any measure receiving a waiver under this paragraph shall be subject to a recorded vote on the House floor

Let's not forget the members here who were backing McCarthy for Speaker at the start of the 2023 session, deriding the Conservatives who opposed him.

That would definitely include me.

I also said there was no way in hell they'd ever be able to pass 12 separate appropriations bills with such a slim majority.  I also said the deliberate hardliner effort to strip the speaker of powers was going to make it even more difficult than usual for the Speaker to corral the necessary votes to pass those bills. That also is what happened

I also predicted that the House would end up passing a continuing resolution despite that language, and then it would be a giant shitshow for the GOP.   Right again.

The writing was on the the wall the moment it became apparent there that a very small minority of House Republicans who we're unwilling to abide by the majority conference vote for speaker

When I said I'd do everything I could to stop the US government from being held hostage to Ukraine, I meant it. We cannot continue to put the needs of other countries above our own. We cannot save Ukraine by dooming the U.S. economy. I'm grateful to all Members of Congress who stood with me, but the battle to fund our government isn't over yet - the forever-war crowd will return.
