华盛顿讯——参议院周六通过一项持续拨款决议,将政府拨款期限延长至12月11日,随后将法案送交众议院。当前国会正努力在今年秋季中期选举前避免政府停摆。
参议院以90票赞成、6票反对的投票结果通过了该法案。该法案将在9月30日财年末之后,继续按当前水平为政府提供6周拨款,仅少数领域例外。法案现已送交众议院,而众议院议员们采取了不同的应对方案。
在启程参加八月休会前,众议院通过了一项单独的持续拨款决议,同样将政府拨款延长至12月。但这项由共和党主导的法案遭到了民主党议员的普遍反对。
参议院多数法案的推进需要60票的门槛,共和党领导层此次采取了两党合作的方式推进拨款延期——承认需要获得跨党派的支持。
参议院资深两党拨款议员于周日宣布就临时拨款法案达成一致。民主党方面宣称,法案中的一项条款是此次谈判的胜利之一:该条款堵住了一个漏洞,阻止政府向边境巡逻局转移资金。此前民主党今年早些时候曾拒绝为移民执法机构提供资金。参议院拨款委员会主席、缅因州共和党参议员苏珊·柯林斯称赞这项临时拨款法案避免了“任何附加争议条款”。民主党此前曾试图加入额外条款,这可能危及法案的通过。
但如果众议院在本月晚些时候休会归来后审议该法案,其中一项条款仍可能构成阻碍。法案包含一项条款,将暂时阻止政府政治官员实施一项有关联邦拨款的拟议规则。民主党警告称,该规则将允许政府取消拨款并“扣押更多联邦资金”,他们曾寻求永久禁止这项规则。但即便只是临时禁令,也可能导致该法案失去共和党议员的支持。
如果众议院议长迈克·约翰逊推动参议院通过的法案,该法案可能会获得民主党议员的支持以推动通过。但他所在党派议员的压力是否会促使他采取不同路线,仍有待观察。
参议院在为五周的八月休会做准备之际,快速推进了多项优先事项,该法案正是其中之一。众议院将于8月31日结束休会返回国会,届时众议院将仅有数周时间就政府拨款计划达成一致。
在过去12个月内经历了两次创纪录的政府停摆后,多数议员似乎都不愿再次看到拨款中断。随着中期选举临近,两党似乎都倾向于暂时搁置争议。
Senate approves bill to fund government into December, but House support remains uncertain

Washington — The Senate approved a continuing resolution on Saturday to keep the government funded through Dec. 11, sending the bill to the House as Congress looks to avoid a government shutdown ahead of the midterm elections this fall.
In a 90 to 6 vote, the Senate approved the measure, which would keep the government funded at current levels with some exceptions for six weeks beyond the Sept. 30 end of the fiscal year. It now goes to the House, where lawmakers have pursued a different approach.
Before leaving town for its August recess, the House approved a separate continuing resolution that would also fund the government into December. But the GOP-led bill was passed with widespread opposition from Democrats.
In the Senate, which has a 60-vote threshold to advance most legislation, GOP leaders pursued a bipartisan approach to the funding extension — acknowledging the need for support across the aisle.
Top Republican and Democratic appropriators in the Senate announced on Sunday an agreement on a stopgap funding bill. Democrats touted, among other wins, a provision in the bill closing a loophole preventing the administration from transferring funds to Border Patrol, after they refused to fund immigration enforcement agencies earlier this year. GOP Sen. Susan Collins of Maine, the chair of the Senate Appropriations Committee, praised the stopgap funding measure for avoiding “any poison pills.” Democrats had sought additional provisions that could have imperiled its passage.
But one provision could still pose hurdles in the House, should it take up the bill when it returns from recess later this month. The bill includes language to temporarily prevent political appointees in the administration from implementing a proposed rule about federal grants. Democrats have warned that the rule will allow the administration to cancel grants and “take even more federal funding hostage,” and have sought to permanently ban the rule. But even the temporary ban could cause the measure to lose support among Republicans.
If House Speaker Mike Johnson moves forward with the Senate bill, it could pick up support from Democrats to propel it to passage. But whether pressure from members of his own conference pushes him to pursue a different course remains to be seen.
The Senate approved the measure as it churned through a number of priorities while preparing to depart for a five-week August recess. The House is set to return from its recess on Aug. 31, at which point the lower chamber will have a matter of weeks to coalesce behind a plan to keep the government funded.
For the bulk of lawmakers, following two record breaking government shutdowns within the last 12 months, the appetite for another funding lapse appears low. And with the midterm elections quickly approaching, both sides of the aisle appear inclined to push off the fight for now.
