The U.S. Senate voted against proposed legislation late Monday night that would have prevented a government shutdown by activating a short-term resolution to fund the government.

Sen. Ron Johnson (R-WI) introduced the “ Eliminate Shutdowns Act ” earlier this month. The bill called for Congress to implement a 14-day continuing resolution to fund the government automatically should Congress not agree on a funding deal by a deadline. The Senate voted against the legislation by a vote of 37-61. It needed 60 votes to pass.
