This vote was on passing a bill that would provide stopgap appropriations funding through Dec. 3, 2010, for most federal agencies and departments. The amendment was offered to a stopgap appropriations bill – known as a “continuing resolution” – intended to bridge the gap between the end of the fiscal year 2010, which ends on Sept. 30, and the beginning of December 2010. This continuing resolution was necessary to keep the government functioning because Congress could not finish its appropriations bills, which must be passed each year. This gave Congress a little bit more time – specifically, through December 3rd -- to finish its appropriations bills. |
