Washington (CNN) -- As talks between House
Speaker John Boehner and President Barack Obama over the government shutdown
and looming debt limit deadline have hit a brick wall, attention now turns to
the Senate where a bipartisan group of Senators are working on a separate plan
to reopen the government.
The standstill has decreased the possibility
that the House would vote to reopen the government this weekend, and while
leadership would remain in Washington to continue work, rank-and-file members
might return to their districts until Monday afternoon.
Republican leadership relayed the news to its
caucus during a Saturday morning meeting after a night of work where little
progress was made on their offer to raise the debt limit for six weeks.
Rep. Raul Labradorm, R-Idaho, told CNN that
"the President rejected our deal."
