Democrats and Republicans are unable to reach a compromise, so the U.S. Congress has temporarily cease functioning.
What’s next? Now, when the government is closed, all institutions whose activities are considered vital, shutdown and thousands of workers sent on unpaid leave. All state agencies associated with homeland security, and NASA, continue to function as before.
The last case of suspension of activity of the government was in 2013 during the tenure of President Barack Obama, who was preceded by Trump. Then the stumbling block was the so-called reform Obamacare, which is initiated by the President himself.
This year the day before the closing of the government the Republicans in the House of representatives failed to gather enough votes to pass the bill on temporary funding.
However, in the Senate, the document is not supported by the majority: the representatives of the Republican and Democratic parties failed to reach consensus on the DACA program and increase the defense budget in part at least, guarding the borders.
The government shutdown leads to the fact that all national parks and Federal museums in the country from this point are closed. In addition, will not be issued passports, and the work of Verify temporarily stop.
