Friday: North Korea, calorie rule

The House will take up legislation to crack down on North Korea on Friday, days after the Senate passed the proposal. 

House lawmakers are expected to vote on the Senate-passed bill, paving the way for it to be sent to President Obama.

The Senate passed the legislation in a unanimous 96-0 vote Wednesday, with lawmakers suggesting they were hopeful they would be able to skip over a House-Senate conference committee. 

House lawmakers, meanwhile, will also vote on legislation aimed at weakening an ObamaCare rule that requires restaurants to list the number of calories in the food they sell. 

The regulations, which had already been pushed until after the fall elections, would be delayed for two years under the legislation. 

Votes in the House are expected between 11 a.m. and noon. 

The Senate is in session Friday but no roll call votes are scheduled.
