House Speaker John Boehner of Ohio pauses while speaking about the ongoing budget battle, Tuesday, Oct. 8, 2013, outside his office on Capitol Hill in Washington. President Barack Obama stepped up pressure Tuesday on Boehner to hold votes to reopen the federal government and prevent a potentially disastrous U.S. government default. Obama spoke to reporters at the White House a few hours after calling Boehner and urging him to drop demands that the votes be tied to Republican demands for dismantling Obama's health care law and cutting federal spending.

In this Sept. 28, 2013, photo, Rep. Steve King, R-Iowa, arrives for a closed-door meeting with fellow Republicans as the House of Representatives works into the night to pass a bill to fund the government, at the Capitol in Washington. The Republican Party’s two Kings in Congress both voted against GOP leaders’ latest effort to prevent President Barack Obama’s health care overhaul from becoming entrenched, but for opposite reasons. New York congressman Peter King says it was a mistake to link curbing “Obamacare” with averting a government shutdown. Iowa congressman King characterizes Boehner’s measure to delay making millions of people buy health insurance for year as a retreat from defunding the new health care law entirely. (AP Photo/J.

Steve Israel, D-N.Y. speaking during a news conference on Capitol Hill in Washington. The pressure off for now on Syria, Democrats are eager to return you to Washington’s regularly-scheduled gridlock. Pitched debates loom on budget and debt_never flattering endeavors that in the past have sunk the nation’s credit rating and Congress’ popularity. At least those debacles made both parties look bad, which to Democrats would be a welcome relief from President Barack Obama’s effort to strike Syria for a chemical weapons attack. (AP Photo/J.
