House Cloakroom: February*22 \u0096 26<\/b><\/p>\n

Analysis:<\/b><\/p>\n

The House will be back in session this week after two weeks off because of the snow and the scheduled President\u0092s day recess.* The biggest event this week will actually be off the Hill and over at the White House Health Care Summit, an effort to push forward a deal to get health care reform passed this year.<\/p>\n

Back on the Hill, the House expects to take up several pieces of legislation including the controversial Native Hawaiians bill which would set up a race-based government of \u0093indigenous, native people of Hawaii,\u0094*one that opponents argue is unconstitutional. *For more on this subject, read a column by Brian Darling, Director of Senate Relations at Heritage, who <atitle="http:\/\/biggovernment.com\/bdarling\/2009\/12\/14\/race-based-government-established-at-expense-of-troops\/#more-45986" href="http:\/\/biggovernment.com\/bdarling\/2009\/12\/14\/race-based-government-established-at-expense-of-troops\/#more-45986">wrote about this problematic legislation back in December. *Also of concern for next week could be a House Resolution to withdraw troops from Afghanistan. *Lastly, the House plans to take up the Intelligence Authorization bill.<spanid="more-26886"><\/span>Major Floor Action:<\/b><\/p>\n
