The House won’t cancel any part of the August recess unless the Senate manages to pass its ObamaCare repeal-and-replace bill, Majority Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) told colleagues at a private meeting Wednesday.

The House is slated to depart Washington for its monthlong summer break beginning July 28 — a time normally reserved for family vacations or official trips abroad for lawmakers.

McCarthy, who controls the House floor schedule, told members they will be called back to Washington if and when the Senate can wrap up its healthcare bill. Lawmakers would receive 72-hour advance notice.
