Poll -- More Co-sponsors in the house - (WTF?) - Page 2

I THink we are going to be In business again with phone call, very soon. I hope. load your Phones with new batteries.. lol

The lame-duck session is the sixth post-election session since 1971 -- and the third since 1994. The last came two years ago, when the House returned after the election to vote on articles of impeachment against President Clinton.

Negotiations on the 2001 budget were to be completed by October 1, the start of the new fiscal year. Republicans, however, have retained their majorities in both chambers of Congress and now may have little incentive to compromise with the outgoing administration over the five remaining spending bills, which President Clinton has either vetoed or threatened to veto.

Outstanding issues include immigration amnesty; a 10-year, $240 billion tax relief bill; and a $350 billion spending bill for the departments of Labor, Education and Health and Human Services

The president is seeking amnesty for illegal immigrants from the Caribbean and Latin America, among other provisions. He has threatened to veto the GOP-sponsored tax bill because it includes tax breaks for health maintenance organizations.
