Despite strong support from both Republican and Democratic senators, House Speaker John Boehner is making no promises that the plan will pass easily in the House.

“The House will honor its commitment to consider the Senate agreement if it is passed,” he said in a statement emailed to reporters. “Decisions about whether the House will seek to accept or promptly amend the measure will not be made until House members — and the American people — have been able to review the legislation.”
