House Republicans are teeing up a jam-packed schedule this week in an effort to get a head start on some of the party\u2019s top priorities before leaving Washington for the month of August. <\/p>\n

The House is tentatively scheduled to vote on advancing three major spending bills as leaders hope to overcome internal GOP turmoil that has plagued the lower chamber off and on for the past month. The Rules Committee will meet on Monday afternoon to advance a procedural motion that ties the major spending bills together, teeing up a make-or-break vote for the House schedule on Tuesday afternoon, according to an early schedule obtained by the Deseret News.<\/p>\n

That procedural motion, known as a rule vote, sets the parameters for debate and passage for each piece of legislation that is brought to the floor. If the rule vote fails, the bills tucked into the measure cannot move forward.<\/p>\n

Republicans will likely need to rely on their own party to get the bills across the finish line, especially as GOP leaders seek to attach portions of President Donald Trump\u2019s desired election bill enacting proof-of-citizenship and voter ID requirements to some of the legislation. <\/p>\n

The heaviest lift of the week will be Republicans\u2019 third proposed budget reconciliation package seeking $95 billion to cover defense spending and election integrity, among other things. The budget resolution was unveiled just last week and doesn\u2019t include spending cuts to offset the multibillion-dollar price tag, prompting fiscal hawks to raise their eyebrows. <\/p>\n

The spending resolution would seek to cover much of the costs of the war in Iran while also enacting portions of the SAVE America Act that pertain to budgetary implementation. <\/p>\n

The lack of offsets could prompt some conservative Republicans to vote against the rule when it comes to the floor on Tuesday, which could derail the week\u2019s schedule before it even begins. <\/p>\n

If the rule does survive, the House will first try to advance a resolution that would extend current federal spending levels through the beginning of December, punting the annual appropriations process to fund government departments and agencies until after the midterm elections. That vote is expected to come as early as Tuesday evening, according to the initial schedule. <\/p>\n

That spending extension, known as a continuing resolution, or CR, is expected to pass. It\u2019s not yet clear if Democrats will support it. <\/p>\n

The CR is deemed to be \u201cmostly clean,\u201d meaning it doesn\u2019t attach unrelated policy provisions. So Democrats could be more inclined to support the bill, as it doesn\u2019t include the SAVE America Act, Republicans\u2019 sweeping election reform bill they are pushing elsewhere. <\/p>\n

Republicans hope to pass defense bill <\/h3>\n

Lawmakers are then expected to vote on the National Defense Authorization Act, the annual defense bill that outlines the proposed budget for the Pentagon. That bill typically passes in a massive bipartisan vote, but its fate is more uncertain as Republican leaders say they\u2019ll attach the SAVE America Act to the package when they send it over to the Senate. <\/p>\n

Assuming all House Republicans are on board, the bill should pass with little to no Democratic support. But the language attaching the SAVE America Act is not likely to survive the Senate, where it would need 60 votes and Democratic buy-in to succeed. <\/p>\n

That vote is expected Wednesday afternoon, according to the initial schedule. <\/p>\n

Meanwhile, the House is eyeing a number of other legislative priorities before representatives leave town, including a stock trading ban for lawmakers that both parties have been pushing for months. That bill will also seek to advance voter ID provisions. <\/p>\n

After this week, the House will leave Washington for its annual August recess and won\u2019t return until Aug. 31. <\/p>\n

The Senate is not far behind. Senators are scheduled to leave town on Aug. 7 and won\u2019t be back until after Labor Day. <\/p>\n

And while it\u2019ll be a heavy lift for the House to send over the NDAA and a post-midterms CR, the Senate is already preparing its own versions of those bills \u2014 signaling there is a still long road ahead for Republicans to get these must-pass bills to the president\u2019s desk. <\/p>\n
