Regular budget process or continuing resolution, it takes both chambers to agree to continue funding spending at the current level. Lee, Cruz, Paul, Meadows, Gohmert, and others are prepared to fund all the government spending by the CR with the exception of ObummerCare.
The rub is that McConnell, Boehner, Cantor, et al. are too scared to fight. They want to roll over yet again.

Yes, that is the main problem. They don’t want to fight. It’s the same tip toe to the election loser strategy from the same bunch of losers.
The fact is the bill that was passed in 2010 is not what we have now. At a minimum the GOP should be demanding an accounting of kenyancare cost increases directly from the White House on weekly basis.
Barry’s whole game plan is to play bystander in chief and divide the GOP. Everybody knows that and it is mind boggling to me how time and again the Stupid Party leadership follows the Dem game plan.
True, and not only do we not have the Senate, we don't have 67 votes to override a Presidential veto, which we also don't have.

I count 4 GOP Senators and "others." You still don't have enough votes, or the President.

McConnell is a jerk who sold out the military during the Sequester. Boehner has no leverage, even with the GOP House members, because he cannot get enough votes. Cantor is another GOP member who sold out the military so it could be raided like an ATM to pay for the Welfare state (Entitlements are exempt from the Sequester, which he not only voted for, he helped negotiate).
In this case (the CR and Debt Ceiling), it isn't that they "don't want to fight", it is the same problem. They don't have the Senate, and they don't have the White House.
