but it is presenting a few interesting and difficult quandaries for lawmakers on the hill. this morning the president tweeted that he didn't want a six year c.h.i.p. extension, which was news to everyone in washington d.c. because that's what the republican strategy has been and is for funding the government. what we were reporting today is that it threw things momentarily into utter chaos on the hill. where republicans are to check if the bill they were attaching the entire government funding operation to would end up being vetoed by the president. that's a peculiar thing to have to inquire about 48 hours before the government shuts down. so he's creating a lot of problems for the process and it doesn't make mitch mcconnell's life easier or chuck schumer's life easier.
