Congress Wraps Up

Burgess Everett, congressional reporter for POLITICO, and Todd Zwillich, The Takeaway's Washington correspondent, recap what's been happening in Congress as it wraps up the session before its August break -- including with highways, the motion to vacate Rep. Boehner, Planned Parenthood and what they'll have to tackle when they return in September.
