Speaker Paul Ryan

Ryan has pledged to follow House rules, which state that bills can only be brought to the floor three days after they are introduced — a way to give members enough time to read them.
House lawmakers will need to pass a stopgap funding measure on Wednesday to ensure the government can keep its lights on. That short-term continuing resolution will run through Dec. 22 to give the Senate enough time to pass both the tax and spending bills.
