House Republicans have settled on a plan to fight President Obama’s executive orders that has conservative lawmakers who have been frustrated with leadership feeling good.
“Seems like a pretty strong package,” a Republican lawmaker texts NRO during the GOP briefing on the plan. “People are happy, it seems.”
House Speaker John Boehner gave conservatives a leading role in drafting the bill as a reward for sticking with him during the cromnibus fight and the recent rebellion. The bill will withhold funding for Obama’s most recent orders, as well as the earlier Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program and two related memoranda written by a former Immigration and Customs Enforcement director.
You can read more details on the legislation (and how it was negotiated over the last couple days) in my article on the home page.
