The Big Story 

House GOP leaders are telling members that the chamber may not return until after Oct. 1 after passing a short term funding stopgap in a move that could jam Senate Democrats ahead of the end-of-month government funding deadline.

The plan hinges on the GOP-crafted continuing resolution (CR), which funds the government until Nov. 21, passing through the slim GOP majority in the lower chamber Friday despite opposition from Democratic leaders and a handful of GOP fiscal hawks.

The House is scheduled to be out of session next week for the Rosh Hashanah holiday but return on Monday, Sept. 29, and Tuesday, Sept. 30.

Under the plan being forecast to members, the House would not return for those two days, even as the leadership source stressed bipartisan negotiations would still continue on regular spending bills. Politico first reported the plan.

The plan would force Senate Democrats, whose votes are required to pass the bill in the upper chamber, to either swallow the GOP-crafted CR or allow the government to shut down.

Senate Democrats, however, insist they won’t vote for the “clean” CR that Republicans are pushing because it doesn’t include health care provisions, including an extension of Affordable Care Act subsidies set to expire at the end of the year.

Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.) took enormous heat from within his own party for helping advance a full-year CR to stave off a government shutdown in March, and he doesn’t appear to have an appetite for redo.
