House Democratic leaders on Saturday offered to clear the field of procedural hurdles if GOP leaders stage a vote on a "Clean" spending bill. House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi on Saturday vowed to rule out the Democrats' procedural options in exchange for a vote on the Senate-passed continuing resolution to reopen the government. "With the unanimous vote we just saw for federal employees, if it's so important to ease the pain for them - what about the vets?" House Majority Leader Eric Cantor told reporters in the Capitol after Saturday's vote. Many House lawmakers rushed out of the Capitol to catch flights home after Saturday's votes.
