Votes deep into December
Source: The Hill

House members hoping to spend quality time with their families during the holiday season got some bad news this week: they may be in Washington days before both Thanksgiving and Christmas.

In an e-mail sent by a House Democrat and obtained by The Hill, the new House schedule calls for votes potentially through Nov. 17, the Saturday before Thanksgiving. The lower chamber will then reconvene on Dec. 4, with leadership hoping that Dec. 11 will be the last week of the session.

However, the e-mail notes that “there is a chance the House would reconvene the following week, Dec. 18-20 to complete its business.”

According to their initial schedule, the House was going to finish up business on Friday though few took that date seriously as leadership officials of both political parties and chambers regularly schedule early adjournment targets that they rarely hit.
