A Republican bill to raise the US debt ceiling, cut spending and avert default on US debt is set for back-to-back votes in the House and Senate.

But House Speaker John Boehner's bill faces a conservative revolt, unanimous opposition by Senate Democrats and a White House veto threat.

Ahead of the votes, Republicans challenged Democrats to back the bill or take political blame for default.

Congress must raise the US debt limit by a deadline of next Tuesday.
