ISIS on the Agenda for Today's Meeting Between the President and Congressional Leaders

Today, President Obama will sit down with a bipartisan group of leaders from both the House and Senate, including members of the current Democratic leadership and the incoming 2015 Republican leadership. At the lunch, the group plans to discuss areas where the executive and legislative branches can find common ground to move issues forward over the next two years. Reportedly on the list of topics for discussion is the continued effort of the United States to thwart the terrorist group Islamic State of Iraq and al-Sham (ISIS, also referred to as ISIL or IS).
