Today’s Timeline

Schedule of Today's Votes   [Daniel Foster]

If all goes according to the Democrats' plan, here is a timeline for today's votes:

2 p.m.: The House will debate for one hour the rules of debate for the reconciliation bill and the Senate bill.

3 p.m.: The House will vote to end debate and vote on the rules of the debate.

3:15 p.m.: The House will debate the reconciliation package for two hours.

5:15 p.m.: The House will vote on the reconciliation package.

5:30 p.m.: The House will debate for 15 minutes on a Republican substitute and then vote on the substitute.

6 p.m.: The House will vote on the final reconciliation package.

6:15 p.m.: If the reconciliation bill passes, the House will immediately vote on the Senate bill, without debate.

UPDATE: A senior Republican House staffer e-mails: "I saw your timeline per the Dems. The timing is probably optimistic. I'd say the vote will be much later than 6:15. Definitely after 7."
