House GOP weighs options for funding. Neither include Trump's debt limit demand.

According to multiple sources, Republican House leadership laid out two options at the conference meeting to fund the government.

One option is a clean continuing resolution to fund the government at current levels until March without debt limit suspension. The vote would be held under suspension of the rules, requiring a two-thirds majority.

The other choice is to hold separate votes on a clean continuing resolution to March, on additional disaster relief and on an extension of farm bill.

House Majority Leader Steve Scalise, R-La., declined to provide details on what the next step is to avert a government shutdown as he emerged from the meeting.

"So, we are talking through different options," Scalise said.
