The House is Empty

House Members from around the country are having a hard time getting to DC due to the roughly two feet of snow that have fallen due to the “snowpocalypse” that has occurred this week.  As such, today the House suspended votes for the rest of the week as the snow is expected to once again continue falling this afternoon in our nation’s capital.79007710CS001_Winter_Weathe

It is also expected that the Senate will probably close for the rest of the week on Wednesday.  Senator Harry Reid (D-NV) announced just a short while ago that he will be moving votes up from 5:00 pm to shortly before 4:00 pm.  There are a number of votes this afternoon, but the one people are watching is the nomination of Craig Becker to the National Labor Relations Board.  Stay tuned for the outcome. . .

Next week the schedule is expected to return to normal.
