Biden signs temporary federal funding bill
US President Joe Biden has signed a temporary funding bill for the US government, allowing the US to avoid a partial government shutdown.
On Sunday, Biden wrote through his account on the “X” site (formerly Twitter): “I have signed a law to keep the government open for 47 days. There is plenty of time to pass government finance bills for the next financial year. .”
Biden added, “I strongly urge Congress to get to work immediately. The American people expect their government to succeed.”
and publish White House A statement from Biden said, “Tonight, bipartisan majorities in the House and Senate voted to keep the government open, averting an unnecessary crisis that would cause unnecessary pain to millions of hardworking Americans.”
The bill ensures that active-duty troops will continue to receive their paychecks, travelers will avoid delays at airports, millions of women and children will receive vital food assistance, and more, and that’s good news for the American people. to report.
“But I want to be clear,” Biden added in the statement, “we should never have been in this position in the first place. A few months ago, House Speaker Kevin McCarthy and I reached a budget. Agreement to avoid this kind of artificial crisis.” selection.
For weeks, radical Republicans in the House of Representatives have been unsuccessfully trying to withdraw from the deal, demanding drastic cuts that would be devastating for millions of Americans, the report said.
The statement said, “While the Speaker of the House of Representatives and a majority of members of Congress remain steadfast in their support for Ukraine, the agreement contains no new funding to continue that support.”
The statement continued, “U.S. support for Ukraine cannot be allowed to be interrupted under any circumstances. I fully expect the Speaker of the House of Representatives to maintain his commitment to the people of Ukraine and ensure that the necessary support is met to help Ukraine at this critical time.”
Late Saturday, Congress passed the temporary funding bill with overwhelming support from Democrats after House Republican Speaker Kevin McCarthy abandoned earlier demands by hardliners in his party that any bill be passed only with Republican votes.
Three hours before the government “shutdown”, the House of Representatives approved a text as a last-ditch effort to avoid a shutdown, before being approved by 88 members of the Senate, compared to 9 who rejected it, Agence France-Presse.
The Democratic-majority Senate voted 88-9 to pass a measure to avert the federal government’s fourth partial shutdown in a decade, sending Biden to sign the legislation before a 12:01 a.m. EDT (0401 GMT) deadline.
With Senate approval, Congress avoids a government shutdown
The US Senate on Saturday voted on a temporary funding bill for the US government for 45 days.
McCarthy abandoned a previous insistence by party hardliners that any bill must pass only with Republican votes, which would prompt an attempt to oust a far-right party member from his leadership role, Reuters reported.
The House of Representatives voted 335 to 91 in favor of funding the government for 45 days, and the matter received support from more Democrats than Republicans.
The vote represents a major shift from days ago when a lockdown seemed inevitable.
Any shutdown would leave most of the government’s four million employees without their paychecks, whether they work or not, and would cripple federal services ranging from national parks to the Financial Regulation Agency.
