As lawmakers head to summer recess, threat of an autumn shutdown looms

The House is set to break for its summer recess starting on July 25, leaving fewer than 20 legislative days on the schedule for lawmakers to avoid a partial government shutdown at the end of September.

The federal budget runs out on Sept. 30. Without a short-term funding extension or a full-year spending plan, agencies will once again be facing the possibility of partial shutdowns, with a host of operations and services shuttered until new money is made available.

The threat of a shutdown has become commonplace on Capitol Hill, but Congress appears even less prepared for the next threat than others in the recent past. Only a few appropriations bills have been adopted by the full house — funding for the Defense Department and Veterans Affairs are among that group — and none have been finalized by the Senate.

With lawmakers headed back home next week, staffers will spend much of August trying to find points of compromise for a plan. But the recent rescission package and reconciliation bills adopted without input from Democratic lawmakers will complicate that work, especially if some of their votes are needed in the closely-divided House.
