What's Next for Congress?
This is what's known as the lame duck session. It's this last little period while Democrats still have control of the House and the Senate before the new Congress starts. A big thing that has happened during this session is that marriage legislation passed, a motion that aims to enshrine a right to both same-sex marriage and interracial marriage. The federal agencies are funded through December 16th. If Congress does not pass a government funding bill by a week from today there could be a possible shutdown.
