Instead of following the standard process that would involve a \u2063procedural vote, \u2064the \u200bHouse will\u2064 vote on the bill under suspension of the rules, requiring a two-thirds majority for passage. This decision comes amidst concerns \u200bthat a procedural vote might fail, especially with at \u200dleast two Republicans already expressing opposition. Given the slim Republican majority, leadership opted\u200c for this\u200d route\u2062 to ensure the bill&#8217;s success, expecting Democrats to provide crucial support. The CR is designed to maintain current spending\u200d levels until December 20, allowing more time for negotiations on future funding. The vote is anticipated to take place on Wednesday.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><\/p>\n<p><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><\/p>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-button\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-icon td-icon-mobile\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-header-search-button-mob dropdown-toggle\" data-toggle=\"dropdown\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-search-icon td-icon-search\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-button\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-icon td-icon-mobile\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<div class=\"tdb-drop-down-search\" aria-labelledby=\"td-header-search-button\">\n<div class=\"tdb-drop-down-search-inner\">\n<form method=\"get\" class=\"tdb-search-form\" action=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/\"><\/form>\n<div class=\"tdb-aj-search\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/#\" role=\"button\" aria-label=\"Search\" class=\"tdb-head-search-btn dropdown-toggle\" data-toggle=\"dropdown\"><i class=\"tdb-search-icon td-icon-search\"><\/i><\/a><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<h1 class=\"tdb-title-text\">House GOP leadership bypasses hard-line members to send stopgap spending bill to floor<\/h1>\n<div><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-title-line\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<div id=\"Brid_1765895\" class=\"tpd-featured-video bridtv\"><\/div>\n<p>The House will bypass typical procedures to advance a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/news\/house\/3162397\/house-republicans-save-act-clean-stopgap-spending-bill-shutdown\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title>three-month continuing resolution<\/a> to fund the government temporarily after some infighting within the GOP conference threatened the spending deal&rsquo;s fate.<\/p>\n<div class=\"article-paywall\">\n<p>House Republican leaders <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/news\/house\/3162931\/whats-in-latest-house-funding-bill\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title>pulled the CR<\/a> from the Rules Committee on Monday night to avoid the legislation being advanced under traditional House rules.
