Senate is still debating reconciliation bill, they have to vote on it and Dotard has to sign it.
Like my polls end time, they have until the stroke of midnight to get this done. Will they do it?
(Note: for consideration of ‘what constitutes a shut down?’, I’m going to make it easy and say that the definition is whether the bill is signed at midnight. If not signed, then the government shuts down.)
My news sources tell me the H.R.3337 has been signed and forwarded to the President. They had already invoked cloture so we knew there was going to be a vote.
(essentially a continuing resolution thru December 11)
The Aye’s have it! Even though the word on the street is that Dotard will sign the bill tomorrow and the govt isn’t ‘really’ shut down, for the definition set out by the OP… a signed bill by midnight… those of us who never lost faith in the inability of the GOP to do even the most mundane of things, like get a piece of paper signed, were richly rewarded.
So, this is what… the 4th time the government has run out of money under Trump?
