众议院何时就参议院达成的协议进行投票?坦率地说,我们不知道。昨晚的参议院法案并未与众议院预先协调。我们昨天与数十名众议院共和党人交谈,他们并不只想为国土安全部的部分部门提供资金,而是希望为所有相关部门提供资金。
我们也不清楚总统对此的态度。本周早些时候,当被问及共和党人提出的仅为国土安全部部分部门提供资金、排除移民海关执法局(ICE)的提案时,总统唐纳德·特朗普回应称:“我对此非常不满意。”

而且,如果要在众议院通过,这关乎票数计算。议员们需要民主党和共和党人的强有力组合才能批准这项法案。民主党未能为移民海关执法局争取到他们想要的真正改革。那么自由派会倒戈吗?这种两党议会数学题将非常有趣。
简而言之,这是参议院的一次紧急应对。参议院已经休会。众议院要么接受该法案,要么否决它。
在国会,高速公路上的出口匝道数量有限。参议院找到了一个出口。机场的危机日益严重。运输安全管理局(TSA)工作人员即将再次错过工资支票。更不用说议员们可能被困在华盛顿,错过为期两周多的复活节和逾越节休会期了。

众议院可以通过“暂停规则”快速推进法案并迅速通过,但这需要三分之二的票数支持。稍长的流程是常规轨道,即提出一项规则法案,以管理对该法案的辩论。但最终通过法案只需简单多数票。
此外,实际上没有人在这次停摆中“获胜”。停摆很少有赢家。是的,纽约州民主党参议员、参议院少数党领袖查克·舒默可能在明尼苏达州枪击事件后,因与移民海关执法局抗争而赢得自由派选民的一些支持。他在上次3月避免政府停摆后屈服,这在自由派中引发了轩然大波,所以这次他需要这样做。

此外,昨晚参议院多数党领袖约翰·图恩(南达科他州共和党人)的任务不是争取支持以通过法案,而是确保参议员们保证不会试图阻挠该法案。
这在一定程度上解释了为何参议院以口头表决方式通过法案——没有任何参议员的具体投票记录。参议院昨晚开通了一条“热线”,与所有100名参议员确认,确保没有人反对图恩的提议。无人反对,因此参议院在深夜通过了该法案。

Senate deal heads to uncertain House fate amid GOP divisions

When will the House vote on the Senate deal? Frankly, we do not know. Last night’s Senate measure was not pre-baked with the House. And we talked to dozens of House Republicans yesterday who did not want to just fund parts of DHS. They wanted to fund everything.
We also don’t know the disposition of the president on this. When asked about a GOP proposal earlier this week to just fund parts of DHS and leave out ICE, President Donald Trump replied, “I’m pretty much not happy with it.”

And, if it is to pass the House, it’s about the math. Lawmakers will need a robust combination of Democrats and Republicans to approve this bill. Democrats failed to secure the bona fide reforms they wanted for ICE. So do liberals defect? This bipartisan parliamentary algebra will be exceedingly interesting.
In short, this was a jam job by the Senate. The Senate has left. Either the House takes the bill or leaves it.
In Congress, there are only so many exit ramps off the highway. The Senate saw one. There was the growing crisis at the airports. TSA workers were about to miss paychecks again. And that’s to say nothing of lawmakers — potentially being mired in Washington and missing their two-week-plus recess for Easter and Passover.

The House could expedite the bill and pass it quickly via “suspension of the rules.” But that requires a two-thirds vote. A slightly longer process is the conventional track with bringing a rule to the floor to manage debate on the bill. But eventual passage of the bill only needs a simple majority.
Also, no one really “won” this shutdown. There are rarely winners from a shutdown. Yes, Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., may have scored some points from the liberal base by going to the mat over ICE following the Minnesota shootings. He needed to do that after caving and averting a government shutdown last March. That ignited a firestorm among liberals.

Also, the charge last night for Senate Majority Leader John Thune, R-S.D., was not to get support to pass the bill — but to secure guarantees from senators that they wouldn’t try to block it.
That’s partly why the Senate voted by voice vote. There is no specific record of any senator “voting” for the bill. The Senate ran a “hotline” last night, checking in with all 100 senators to make sure there were no objections to what Thune proposed doing. No one objected. And thus, the Senate passed the bill in the dead of night.
