What's Congress Voting On? Week of July 24, 2017

Join us and tell your reps how you feel!

Congress convenes Monday with a vote to start debate on Senate Republicans' healthcare bill potentially occurring as early as Tuesday.

The House will vote on the top secret intelligence authorization Monday, along with several veterans affairs and small business bills. Tuesday will bring votes on a Congressional Review Act regulatory repeal and a sanctions package aimed at Russia, North Korea, and Iran. The remainder of the week will be focused on the Make America Secure Appropriations Act, which doles out funding normally included in four separate appropriations bills, a resolution calling on Iran to release American citizens it's holding, and other legislation.

The Senate will vote Monday to confirm a deputy secretary of the interior. Its agenda for the rest of the week is yet to be announced, although all eyes will be on a potential motion to proceed to the GOP's healthcare bill that could come as early as Tuesday.

Check here throughout the week to see the vote results and updates to the schedule.
