The full chamber is limited in what legislation and actions it can consider until a new House speaker is selected.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Both the House and Senate have until Nov. 17 to reach a short-term or full-year budget deal, work that has been complicated by the lack of clear leadership among House Republicans. If a budget compromise can\u2019t be reached, it will trigger a partial government shutdown which could furlough millions of government workers and shutter federal services.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2>Wednesday,
