the "continuing resolution" bill, the result of bipartisan negotiations between the u.s. house of representatives and senate, maintains government funding for three months, shorter than johnson's initial six-month temporary plan, and specifically excludes a measure supported by former u.s. president and republican presidential candidate trump that would require proof of u.s. citizenship to vote in the presidential election.

the u.s. house of representatives will vote on the bill before the 25th of this month, after which the bill will be submitted to the senate for deliberation before the us government shuts down on september 30.

the u.s. house of representatives previously rejected johnson's temporary government appropriations bill on the 18th of this month, which hoped to extend government appropriations until march 28, 2025. the u.s. government's fiscal year 2024 will end on september 30. if the senate and the house of representatives do not pass the government budget before then, the federal government will "shut down" at midnight on october 1.
