The House Freedom Caucus is pushing for a vote next week on a six-month stopgap funding measure that would last until March 2017 and effectively end the appropriations process for the year. The plan would postpone decisions on FY 2017 spending until a new president and Congress are elected.
At present, House Republican Leadership is considering the proposal, but is highly unlikely such a measure would be considered for a vote next week. Both the House and Senate are scheduled to leave July 15 for the national political conventions and a summer recess that is set to last until after Labor Day. When the chambers return, there is a high chance House Leadership would consider such a measure for a vote.
