House Democrats barely won a 210-209 vote to adjourn the House without extending the Bush tax cuts.
Thirty-nine House Democrats voted against adjournment after Minority Leader John Boehner (R-Ohio) urged opposition to the motion in a floor speech that said it would be irresponsible for Congress to leave without providing certainty on the tax issue.
“Vote no on this adjournment resolution. Give Congress a chance to vote on extending tax rates,” Boehner said.
