The House of Representatives will remain in session on Saturday to consider an energy bill, delaying the start of the August recess by a day. The House plans to consider the rule and the energy bill, according to a statement from Majority Leader Steny Hoyer (D-Md.) sent to reporters. The bad news for members and staffers awaiting the start of their August vacation comes hours after the House erupted in chaos during a vote on the agriculture appropriations bill. "We expect Republicans to try and delay the business listed above. Once again, buckle up," spokeswoman Stacey Bernards wrote. |
