what bill is causing the government shutdown

The government shutdown was avoided by the passage of a stopgap bill that would keep the government open for another 45 days if signed into law by President Joe Biden. The bill was passed by the House and the Senate, and President Biden signed it into law just hours ahead of the midnight deadline. The bill includes natural disaster aid but not additional funding for Ukraine or border security. The House had previously failed to pass a short-term spending bill that would fund the government through October 31, 2023. The failure of the House to pass the bill was a defeat for House Speaker Kevin McCarthy and GOP leaders.
