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 Partyâs two Kings in Congress both voted against GOP leadersâ latest effort to prevent President Barack Obamaâs health care overhaul from becoming entrenched, but for opposite reasons. New York congressman Peter King says it was a mistake to link curbing âObamacareâ with averting a government shutdown. Iowa congressman King characterizes Boehnerâs 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.
