House to vote on the Senate bill
The House is going to vote on the Senate bill, foregoing the controversial ``Slaughter Solution'' that would have allowed members to avoid voting directly on the Senate legislation, which many House Democrats have problems with, according to lawmakers leaving an afternoon whip meeting.
The Senate easily passed a bill on a 69-30 vote Wednesday night to keep the government running through early December, sending the measure to House where it is expected to pass.
