WASHINGTON (Reuters) -The U.S. Home of Representatives plans to vote Wednesday on a stopgap spending invoice that might lengthen authorities funding for six months and require People to supply proof of citizenship after they vote, Home Speaker Mike Johnson mentioned on Tuesday.
The vote units up a confrontation with the Senate, the place Democrats who management the chamber say any spending invoice shouldn’t be paired with the voting necessities Republicans need.
Except a stopgap spending invoice is distributed to President Joe Biden by midnight Sept. 30, the tip of the federal government’s present fiscal yr, many company operations will stop and 1000’s of federal employees could be furloughed for lack of funds.
Final week, Johnson needed to abandon his try and cross a spending invoice when it grew to become clear he didn’t have sufficient assist for passage from his rank-and-file Republicans.
A shutdown may upset voters within the weeks earlier than the Nov. 5 elections, with management of each the Home and the Senate at stake.
The final authorities shutdown occurred on the finish of 2018 and stretched effectively into January 2019.
