President-elect Barack Obama will be holding a series of meetings with lawmakers on Capitol Hill Monday. He'll be focusing on an ambitious economic stimulus package he wants passed quickly.

He was hoping Congress would give him something to sign the day he's sworn in. But Republicans are demanding time to look over details.
