Capitol Vigil for Charlie Kirk in the midst of the tenure for the tense government

The president of the Mike Johnson room (R-La) announced that there will be a vigil in the statuary room of the Capitol this evening at 6:15 p.m. to honor Charlie Kirk.

Although it should be respectful, Capitol Hill is a Tinderbox right now. Democrats and Republicans are always negotiating beards. The two parties accuse the other of contributing to hyper-toxic rhetoric. There are calls to “lower the temperature”. But remember, Congress is a Thermometer – NOt a thermostat.

We could have a verbal game in and around the solemn ceremony this evening. The members could again unload on another when they filter the Capitol this evening. The complex is plagued by tension.

Members are concerned about personal security and how to protect themselves and their families – but there is no concrete plan on what to do to protect the legislators.

This brings us to the financing of the government – and why the security of the legislators is a key element of this fight.

The funding of the government expires at 11:59 p.m. on September 30 at 11:59 p.m. on September 30. The room should be out of session next week. Rosh Hashanah begins at sunset on September 23. There is therefore a limited bandwidth for the congress before a closure.

There are chatter that the house could try to advance a own provisional expenditure bill this week (a “CR”), which would take place until November 21.

The bill will renew all last year’s funding at current levels. But he would approve three “new” bills for the entire exercise covering agriculture, military construction / VA and the legislative branch.

The latter is where there is a problem.

Fox is said that the White House wants an additional $ 58 million additional dollars for the security for administration and the courts in the light of Kirk murder. They would correspond to this with similar money to secure the congress. But some legislators can relieve, saying that the corresponding 58 million dollars are too low – likewise, because there are so many members of the congress and threats are outside the graphics. Fox is informed that Congress will approve all of the necessary security financing, but legislators must first determine what they want.

“Find out what you want and put it in the bill. This is not something on which we are going to disagree,” said a main source in the room.

This brings us to the quest for Democrats for a “victory” in this spending round, especially since we think that the chief of the minority of the Senate Chuck Schumer (DN.Y.) sold and received nothing in the financing round of spring.

The great demand of democrats is a renewal of Obamacare’s subsidies, which expire at the end of the year. If the congress does not reach, health care for tens of millions of Americans will increase sharply.

Some Republicans also put pressure for an extension of these subsidies. But the Congress Republicans are hesitant to attach the renewal of Obamacare’s subsidies to a bill on provisional expenses of seven weeks.

In short, the Republicans wait for Democrats to say what they want – and Democrats cannot understand this. But basic republicans also wait for their leadership to make a game call.

A game call could be to have the room voted on this CR Clean, associated with the other three bills of expenditure, later this week.

However, the house has the “three -day rule”. This requires that the legislation be displayed for three days before the votes of the Chamber. If the room will vote before its planned recess, it would be Thursday. And that also means that the Chamber must vote to publish the bill on Monday.

But exactly What The house can publish is not clear.

In addition, it is not clear if the house could even approve a STOPGAP expense package.

These are mathematics.

The Chamber currently has 432 members: 219 Republicans and 213 Democrats. This means that Republicans can only lose two on their side and pass the bill. Representative Thomas Massie (R -ky.) – And maybe others – are likely to oppose a dressing expenses bill. And democrats may not vote yes for all the above reasons. In addition, they are in the minority. They will expect the majority to “understand it”.

Such a scenario could only increase tensions on Capitol Hill – which are already raised because of Kirk.

Expect many more verbal lines and congress disagreements before it is resolved.
