In this Sept. 10, 2013, photo, President Barack Obama addresses the nation in a live televised speech from the East Room of the White House in Washington. Some of Obama’s top allies say the president misread a few crucial political forces when he asked Congress to support his bid to strike Syria over last month’s chemical weapons attack.

FILE - In this Sept. 3, 2013, file photo House Speaker John Boehner of Ohio speaks to reporters outside the White House in Washington.

A sculpture of John Gorrie of Florida, inventor of the ice machine, stands next to the popular Rosa Parks in Statuary Hall at the Capitol in Washington, Tuesday, July 2, 2013. A physician, scientist, and inventor, Gorrie is considered the father of refrigeration and air-conditioning; he died impoverished and virtually forgotten in 1855. Among the U.S. Capitol’s many statues which honor the nation’s founders, leaders and legends, the marble figure by scuptor C.A.

FILE - In this July 24, 2013 file photo, Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas speaks on Capitol Hill in Washington. After Mitt Romney’s 2012 loss, many senior Republicans concluded the party must moderate its image on issues such as immigration and reproductive rights. But some GOP lawmakers have done the opposite. They imposed new restrictions on abortion in several states. They are strongly resisting a broad immigration bill in the U.S. House. They’re waging a steady assault on “Obamacare,” with some House and Senate Republicans vowing to shut down the government if that’s what it takes to choke off the health care law Congress enacted in 2010.
