what is in the continuing resolution

A continuing resolution is a temporary funding measure that Congress can use to fund the federal government for a limited amount of time.

Continuing resolutions are temporary spending bills that allow federal government operations to continue when final appropriations have not been approved by Congress and the President. Without final appropriations or a continuing resolution, there could be a lapse in funding that results in a government shutdown. Continuing resolutions typically provide funding at a rate or formula based on the previous years funding. The Houses continuing resolution would fund the government for 45 days. The bipartisan Continuing Resolution extends government funding through November 17.
