US Congress passes bill to end 43-day government shutdown crisis
- Congress moves forward to resolve prolonged shutdown crisis
- Bill awaits President Trump’s approval as government funding restored
US Congress passes bill | Hyderabad, Nov. 13: The United States Congress has passed a bill to formally end the 43-day government shutdown, with 222 members voting in favor and 209 against.
This crucial move closes one of the longest shutdowns in recent American history and now awaits President Donald Trump’s sign-off.
According to White House sources, the newly approved bill will provide funds to keep the government running until January 30.
The extended shutdown created wide-ranging disruption across the country, as millions of Americans lost access to federal assistance.
Many citizens who depend on government aid programs faced loss of food support during this period.
Meanwhile, the impact rippled through the aviation sector as well. Air traffic controllers, working without pay, eventually refused to man their posts, leading to major delays and flight cancellations at airports nationwide.

The halt in services and uncertainty placed significant stress on travelers and the broader transportation network.
Federal workers bore the brunt of the shutdown, with many required to work without salaries and others placed on temporary unpaid leave.
Essential public services were affected, fueling widespread frustration among employees and the public. As the shutdown dragged on, pressure mounted on both the administration and Congress to resolve the deadlock.
Now, with Congress passing the temporary funding measure, expectations are high for stabilization. Analysts suggest that this stopgap gives both lawmakers and the government breathing room to negotiate a long-term budget solution.
With all eyes on the White House, Americans from all walks of life hope this new step will restore federal operations to normal and prevent such future crises.
