With Representative Thomas Massie having already announced he will vote no, there isn't much wiggle room for Republicans to turn. If Democrats also vote down the bill only one other Republican "no" vote can kill it This narrow window puts the delicacy of Republican control into context in being able to pass divisive legislation. Finally, the debate raises critical questions: Should Congress pass short-term funding measures to avoid shutdown or set an example for comprehensive longterm budget solutions? And how much weight does a sitting president, much less a former president have in determining government expenditure policies? Should Congress pass this stopgap bill, or should they hold out for a structured budget plan?
