House speaker Mike Johnson may even wait until lawmakers return from two-week break to ensure measure passes
During its brief pro forma session today, the US House took no action on the funding bill to end the historic DHS shutdown, after the Senate-passed legislation was sent to the lower chamber earlier today.
The House’s next procedural meeting will be on Monday, meaning the lapse in funding for several subagencies will continue until at least next week. However, Republican House speaker Mike Johnson may even wait until lawmakers return from a two-week recess to ensure the measure, that his party rejected last week, can pass.
