senators will vote on a set of resolutions regarding president trump's arms sales to saudi arabia. that is followed by an event on managing the southern border and the potential impact on trade policy. us fromin m a joins politico. the house moves on to its second spending measure.

last night, we saw the house rules committee, a whopping 290 amendment, so more action on the second spending bill will start today and democrats have quite a list of amendments to work through. censusissue is the 2020 and the question of citizenship. how does the commerce spending address the citizenship question ? guest: house democrats inserted language in the bill that would prevent the trump administration from including a citizenship question on the 2020 census. this issue is currently being

deliberated by the supreme court, but house democrats did allow an amendment to go up for debate last night and the amendment was offered by conservative steve king. he's looking to allow that question on the citizenship question, on the 2020 census. and democrats are also looking to insert some language in there that ensures privacy of information and other issues like that. but by and large democrats are looking to block this language which they say will deter people from answering from the numbers being accurate and ultimately affect federal funding and resources to communities that host a large number of undocumented immigrants.

host: on those 290 amendments allowed by the rules committee, you tweeted this, the breakdown, 90 commerce-science-justice, 35 for agriculture and f.d.a., 69 interior-environment. 34 for the military construction-va. and 62 for transportation and housing and urban development. what are some of the key amendments you'll be watching for? guest: some of the key amendments we are certainly watching for affect the department of commerce. the census question. they affect the department of justice. and the hiring of immigration judges there. there is also some language that democrats are looking to add that would bar the department of justice from trying to overturn the affordable care act. there are a number of amendments in there -- a number of amendments offered bipartisan support for increasing funding when it comes to certain issues like school violence or gun violence research. certainly we'll be watching a lot of those. one element i was looking for that was not inserted were

democrats were trying to firm language in the bill that would block the 2020 census question, but likely discussed the bill already does that. i assume it was taken out because it was duplicative. another thing adopted last night by the house rules committee is a manager's amendment that says federal agencies are allowed to hire daca recipients, which is something that sort of slipped in last minute. all of those things we'll be watching. it's unclear republicans are going to try to pull the same stunt they did with the first mini bus where they were demanding roll call votes on every single thing. it's possible that this will maybe go speedier this time. who knows, congressman chip roy has been very active on this front. host: this is the second of the three spending measures, last week taking up one. now this five bill package. that's nine of the 12. you tweeted this from the majority leader and the house is likely to consider can the third

and final spending package next week. that combines the homeland security, financial service, and legislative branch 2020 spending. what issues do you see coming up on this bill? guest: there are a number of contentious issues with this last spending package. we sort of have the stragglers which, like you said, homeland security, parts of the legislative branch, and the financial services bill. the legislative branch measure was stripped out of the first spending bill package because it does not include language that would essentially block a congressional pay raise from taking effect. so if the bill is passed as it was drafted, members of congress would essentially see a $4,500 cost of living adjustment added to their salaries, and that

measure is very politically touchy. it attracted a lot of pushback and ultimately house democrats decided to take that out of the first spending package and deal with it later. we are going to be coming back to that issue. also have the department of homeland security's bill which as has been controversial all year includes a number of provisions that would sort of knock the trump administration's immigration policies while providing humanitarian aid and funding for the department of homeland security. dealing with the stragglers and problem child i guess of this fiscal 2020. host: let me ask you one thing briefly. because it's come up several times with -- on these debates, republicans in particular bringing up the issue of border security, you tweet -- retweeted this from your "politico" colleague, senate appropriations committee has approved a $4.6 billion border supplemental. when is the senate likely to take that up? how soon will the house get around to something like that? guest: i think it seems like both chambers are looking to take up the package before the fourth of july recess. like you said, the senate appropriations committee this

morning quickly, very quickly, passed a $4.6 billion bipartisan bill to address president donald trump's $4.5 billion funding request. the bill is sort of a compromise. neither side exactly gets what they want. it includes provisions blocking the use of funding for a barrier at the southern border, while at the same time it fulfills a lot of what president trump was seeking in humanitarian aid. in the house, however, there have been a lot of disagreements. i think lawmakers, for example, congresswoman rosa delauro, who is the chair of the labor-hhs-education spending panel, she's been racing to convince her colleagues this is something that needs to come together. but a number of democrats have pretty strong reservations and want strong conditions and protections on the money. they say they don't want to offer the president a quote-unquote, blank check. whether or not democrats are able to assuage some of those concerns from their fellow democrats, there is a lot of consternation about not funding what they see as the president's

harsh immigration policies, so whether or not they are able to assuage some of those concerns and ultimately produce something that's bipartisan kind of remains to be seen. host: caitlin emma covers appropriations and budget issues for "politico." read more at politico.com and on twitter at caitlinzemma. >> c-span's washington journal, live every day with news and policy that impacts you. coming up, obama era clean water plans and michigan democratic congresswoman joins us to discuss the debate over federal spending and efforts to avoid another government shutdown this fall. the sure to watch c-span's washington journal. join the discussion. the reviews are in for
