Congress\u2019 return to Capitol Hill from summer break means once again starting the countdown to another potential partial government shutdown, this one just a few weeks before voters head to the polls.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Lawmakers have until Sept. 30 to agree upon a short-term extension of federal spending or risk shutting down dozens of government agencies, including nonessential tasks within the Defense Department<\/a>. House and Senate leaders have already begun discussions on possible legislative vehicles to prevent such a stoppage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But House Speaker Mike Johnson, R-La., has said he wants to include in any spending bill provisions to require proof of citizenship to register to vote, a move some Democratic leaders have already labeled an unneeded distraction that could derail negotiations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Regardless, the Defense Department is unlikely to start the new fiscal year Oct. 1 with a congressionally approved budget<\/a>, a practice that has frustrated planners but become commonplace in recent years. Since 2011, lawmakers have finalized the military appropriations bill on time only once, in fiscal 2019.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
