General Discussion

most of the reporting claiming the government could be open as soon as Monday morning. If they have to go through all of the channels suggested then it wouldn't be for a good bit after that because the House would have to come back in session, the mess would have to be rewritten, then come to the floor for a vote and then go to the Senate. I see that as at least a day or two if not more by the time the wrangling is done. This is why I'm not certain it is being done in that fashion.

I suspect that the supposed Senate agreements about a vote on ACA subsidies, rehiring/back wages etc. are not being attached to the CR but are being fashioned as a stand alone since it is just an agreement in the Senate. I don't know for certain that even a change of dates for the CR would make them head back through the whole process again. I believe they may simply pass the existing CR the House sent over in order to get to say the government is open and then deal with the change of dates as another matter. The existing CR would carry enough to get them opened.
