What was more notable about the Republican House agenda was what wasn’t included. Other Republicans were also happy to say the GOP needed to do more with the time left before the November elections. Last year, Republicans in the House just bundled together the spending measures and restricted which amendments could get a vote, while the Senate didn’t do any individual appropriations bills. Buddy Carter (R-Ga.) told HuffPost that Republicans were taking the agenda for the rest of the year “very seriously, and we intend to address some very serious issues.”Rep. Ken Buck (R-Colo.) argued that the problem wasn’t with House Republicans. “Why don’t you talk to the Senate?”He said that hundreds of bills had passed the House and were waiting for action in the Senate.
