And members of congress are settling this year has really kind of gone off the rails. Michigan congressman dan kildee admits the a distraction. And sometimes so is the president. Some members of the republican conference that have said look if the president is for it im against it, maybe we can put those politics behind us now. Ryan says the order of business is going to change meaning lawmakers will get the chance to negotiate more before they vote on bills.
