Geee Posted August 1, 2013 Share Posted August 1, 2013 The Hill: The Senate is slated to hold a bipartisan caucus meeting on Thursday, just weeks after nearly all senators attended a closed-door joint conference to end a showdown over executive branch nominees. All 100 senators are invited to attend, according to the Washington Post, which first reported the meeting. According to the Senate schedule, the body will recess for a “bipartisan caucus meeting” after a cloture vote on the Transportation, Housing and Urban Development appropriations bill. The Post reported that senators from both parties requested the meeting, with Sen. Roger Wicker (R-Miss.) taking the lead. The move comes less than a month after the full body met in the Old Senate Chamber to hash out a compromise to allow a vote on a host of President Obama’s executive nominees in exchange for Democrats abandoning the “nuclear option,” a threat to change Senate rules. Only two members missed the last meeting in July. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
