Congressional votes ripple on funding and impeachment moves
The House passed a GOP stopgap funding bill HR 195 by 280 to 197 to keep agencies open through Feb 16 and renew CHIP for six years, while the chamber voted 355 to 66 to table HR 705 seeking Trump impeachment. A separate 244 to 183 vote backed HR 4712 expanding post abortion penalties, and HR 3326 related to IDA funding. The Senate approved a six year Section 702 FISA extension 65 to 34, and a 50 to 49 vote failed to advance another stopgap bill, risking a partial shutdown.

Senate leaders avoided direct talks while private talks aimed at a three week funding extension stalled over immigration at issue.
