U.S. House Republicans aim to pass 'clean' debt limit bill

- Republican U.S. House Speaker John Boehner told reporters on Feb. 11 that he will allow a "clean" debt limit vote on Feb. 12. The move marks a shift from past strategy, when his party opened negotiations by attaching other legislation to a borrowing ceiling hike. Treasury Secretary Jack Lew has said that Congress must pass an increase by Feb. 27.
