Reconciling Congress

The Brian Lehrer Show | Apr 1, 2010
The Guantanamo decision isn't the only big news out of Washington this week. With health care, Afghanistan, and bank reform on its plate, Congress has lots of business to take care of. Todd Zwillich, Washington correspondent for the Takeaway, discusses the upcoming week. He also explains how things will get done (or not done): reconciliation, fillibuster, cloture, and other congressional procedures that shape the way bills become laws.
