What's Congress Voting On? Week of July 31, 2017

The Senate returns to the Capitol on Monday following the failure of Republicans' healthcare bill last week, fulfilling their promise to work through two weeks of their planned August recess. The House left Washington D.C. to begin its August recess on Friday.
