FILE - In this Sept. 3, 2013, file photo House Speaker John Boehner of Ohio speaks to reporters outside the White House in Washington. As lawmakers end their five-week recess, no member of Congress is in a tighter spot than Boehner, who risks seeing most of his Republican colleagues vote against him on three major issues, Syria, the debt limit, and immigration reform. More than a third of House Republicans have urged Boehner to trigger a government shutdown rather than fund the implementation of "Obamacare". (AP Photo/Manuel Balce Ceneta, File)

FILE - In this Sept. 6, 2013 file photo President Barack Obama speaks at a G-20 Summit press conference in St. Petersburg, Russia. The coming weeks will test Obama's powers of persuasion and his mobilizing skills more than at any other time in his presidency and could determine whether he leads the nation from a position of strength, or whether he becomes a lame duck one year into his second term. His challenge: convince wary lawmakers to give him authority to take military action against Syria, confront Congress in debate over spending and the borrowing limit, and oversee a crucial step in the implementation of his signature health care law.
