Ben Ray Lujan, D-N.M., speaks during an election day news conference at the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee Headquarters in Washington. House Democrats will likely keep Lujan in his job, even though they're frustrated with their disappointing Election Day showing. The party gained six House seats, below expectations and well short of the 30 pickups they needed to win control of the chamber. (AP Photo/Carolyn Kaster)

FILE - In this May 5, 2015 file photo, Senate Majority Leader Sen. Mitch McConnell of Ky. walks to his office on Capitol Hill in Washington. Supporters of President Barack Obama’s trade agenda hope to fend off hostile Senate amendments Friday, May 22, 2015, and send a major trade bill to the House, where another fierce debate awaits. Legislation to renew the Patriot Act is also on the calendar, as is a bill to renew authority to commit federal funds for highway and bridge construction. McConnell is intent on keeping the anti-terrorism Patriot Act from lapsing while Republicans control the House and Senate. (AP Photo/Evan Vucci, File)

The top Republican leaders in the House and Senate insisted on Tuesday that lawmakers have a say. Boehner said "Congress should absolutely have the opportunity to review this deal," telling reporters. "The administration appears to want a deal at any cost." (AP Photo/Andrew Harnik)
