My democrat colleague across the aisle who's 80 years old and has been here over 30 years just said we're on the verge of a shutdown, Greene said. She probably just forgot that a few hours ago, she voted for the continuing resolution that will extend the budget and we are not on the verge of a shutdown. So, I just wanted to note that for the record.
It may be that the Gentlelady doesn't know that there is another body attached to the U.S. Congress called the United States Senate, and they have to vote on the continuing resolution. And when they vote on it, we'll find out what it is that they do with regard to this continuing resolution passed by the House, which quite frankly is flawed to a fare-thee-well, flawed to a fare-thee-well in meeting our obligations, both domestic and international. And by the way, it isn't a law of the land until the president of the United States signs it. That may be a basic level lesson in civics.
On Tuesday, the House passed a two-level funding bill that will avert a government shutdown at the end of the week. If passed by the Senate and signed by the president, the legislation will become law and fund the government until early next year.
