Within the budgetary process, what is a continuing resolution, and by when must it be approved?
What will be an ideal response?
Continuing resolutions occur when the president and Congress fail to approve one or more of the twelve appropriation bills that fund the government for the upcoming fiscal year. Continuing resolutions must be approved by Congress by October 1 of each year or else the government will shut down, as it did for 16 days in October of 2013. They grant authorization to federal agencies not covered by approved appropriations laws to continue to spend money within their previous budget year's levels.
