Congress Will have a very short month and a hell of a lot to do

The politicians America loves to hate are back in session today, and they have plenty of opportunities on the horizon to prove they can actually get something done. After voting on President Obama’s proposal to strike Syria, Congress will face its third budget showdown since 2011, debate the rollout of the Affordable Care Act, and try to push immigration reform through the House. Here’s a look at what’s coming up for some of the issues on Congress’ fall agenda:
 
• Find out where the votes stand on Syria (WaPo). In a crazy twist of fate, the first big Syria vote could come on the anniversary of 9/11 (CNN).
 
• Why the success of Obamacare depends on millennials (CS Monitor).
 
• Immigration reform falls to the back of the line (NY Times).
 

The success of these debates will hinge on talks between President Obama and House Speaker John Boehner. Here’s an inside look at how they negotiate (WaPo).
