The House of Representatives begins the last legislative sprint of the “great and beautiful bill” of President Donald Trump before the commander -in -chief signed it.
The powerful chamber panel is the last guard before most lip lips obtained a vote on a chamber scale.
This occurs after the Senate spent more than 24 hours in a row by considering the bill, finally transmitting it along the closest margins around noon on Wednesday. Vice-president JD Vance was on Capitol Hill to vote against the link.

It is not clear how long the meeting of the Rules of the Chamber Committee will go; When the panel examined the version of the bill of the bill in May, the Democrats presented dozens of modifications to symbolically oppose the bill and delay the process.
Meanwhile, two conservatives of the Chamber Rules Committee, Ralph Norman representatives, RS.C. And Chip Roy, R-Texas, are among those in the lower chamber raising concerns concerning the bill.
Their opposition in a committee would not be enough to arrest him, but the legislation could face serious threats on the scale of the house, where only four votes of the GOP “without” would be enough to browse the bill.
The Chamber first adopted the bill – an element of gigantic legislation making Trump’s agenda progress on taxes, the border, energy, defense and national debt – at the end of May by a single vote.
The changes made by the Senate to spend the majority of three votes from this three -vote room must now be approved in the House before going to Trump’s office.

Republican leaders have a self-imposed deadline to obtain the Trump office bill by July 4.
The head of the majority of the room, Steve Scalizes, R-La., Told Fox News Digital on Monday at the beginning of the evening that he expected that his room will begin to consider the bill from 9 a.m. Wednesday.
But two members of the Conservative House Freedom Caucus, Norman and the representative Eric Burlison, R-MO., Told Fox News Digital earlier the same day that they thought that the bill would not survive a procedural vote on a chamber level on Wednesday if the text of the Senate did not change materially.
The bill would permanently extend the income tax tranches lowered by the Trump Trump Trump (TCJA) Trump Reducts Act, while temporarily adding new tax deductions to eliminate rights over advocacy in matters of divers and overtime to certain ceilings.

It also includes a new tax deduction for people aged 65 and over.
The legislation also refers to the tax credits on green energy implemented under the law on the reduction of inflation of former president Joe Biden, which Trump and his allies attacked as “the new green scam”.

The bill would also increase money to national defense and to the application of immigration and customs (ICE) in the name of Trump’s repression against illegal immigrants in the United States
The bill would also increase the limit of debt by $ 5 billion in order to avoid a potentially devastating lack of credit economically this summer, if the United States lacked liquidity to pay for its obligations.
