Imagine that over the course of the last 10 years, the military forces engaged in the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan ran out of funds and by the end of the fiscal year could reach no agreement
How would Congress fund the war? How would this be different from some unexpected circumstance that affected the military that also would have to be funded?
What will be an ideal response?
An ideal response will:
1, Define continuing resolution funds used to keep programs up and running when regular appropriations have not been approved by the end of the fiscal year.
2, Define supplemental appropriations as the process by which Congress and the president can provide temporary funding for government activities and programs when funds fall short because of unforeseen circumstances.
3, Explain that continuing resolution funds would apply to the former, whereas supplemental appropriations would apply to the latter.
