Continuing Resolution (CR)

A $1.59 trillion spending cap for the fiscal year was agreed upon by House and Senate leaders, mirroring the agreement reached last year.

The measure, which gives Congress until March to pass annual spending bills, was passed one day before a government funding deadline.

Schumer made the first procedural move on Jan. 11 that would allow for a measure to prevent a government shutdown to pass.

Majority leader’s remarks come 10 days before some government agencies are set to run out of funding. Remaining agencies would shut down on Feb. 3.

Congress halted a government shutdown with a second stop-gap funding bill, setting up a spending fight between House and Senate early in the new year.

209 Democrats joined 127 Republicans to pass Speaker Johnson’s two-step measure to fund the government through January.

New House Speaker Mike Johnson plans to put a new approach to government funding up for vote in the first test of his ability to get things done.

House Republicans consider a ‘laddered’ stopgap spending resolution as Nov. 17 government shutdown deadline approaches.

Numerous suggestions to remedy obviously flawed Congressional appropriations procedures have surfaced and faded away since 2012.

Passage puts shutdown fears to rest, though senators now have just six weeks to finish appropriations, which they say will include more funding for Ukraine.

House sends short-term funding measure to Senate in bid to avoid government shutdown.

House Republicans look to negotiate a deal Democrats will accept to keep the government open while they finish eight remaining appropriations bills.

One side wants more time, the other insists on marching forward to complete the 12 regular appropriations bills, even if it means suspension of services.

With House GOP in disarray, Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer has the opportunity to define the terms of a stop-gap funding bill to forestall shutdown.

The Republican House majority has remained divided for weeks over how to go about funding the government.

Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, taking advantage of infighting among House Republicans, is ready to seize the initiative in the 2024 appropriations fight.

The continuing resolution includes $6.1 billion in funding for Ukraine and $6 billion for the Federal Emergency Management Agency.

Speaker McCarthy promises a continuing resolution vote this week, aiming to preempt the Senate and a coalition of House moderates from offering their own terms
