House and Senate Cloakroom: April 12-16, 2010

House Cloakroom: April 12 – 16

Analysis:

After a two week recess the House eases its way back into work with a light week full of suspension bills.  However, if the Senate is able to finish up its work extending provisions such as unemployment insurance, COBRA, and the Doc Fix those items could possibly, though not likely, be seen on the floor this week as well.  Additionally, the retirement of Supreme Court Justice Stevens could possibly put many of the legislative priorities for Congress and the administration in flux over the next few months and into the summer.

Analysis:

On Monday, the Senate returns from a two-week recess.  Floor action will be consumed by continued to debate on the extension of unemployment insurance and other benefits, which expired last week.  Off the floor, serious negotiations will continue on a financial overhaul bill and the Kerry-Lieberman-Graham global warming gambit.
