Obama signs short-term us government funding measure

President Barack Obama has signed a short-term resolution to fund the US government from October 1 through December 9, the White House announced on Thursday, Sputnik reported.

The US Senate, in a floor vote on Wednesday, approved the short-term-funding legislation, following similar action in the House of Representatives.

"The President signed into law H.R. 5325, an Act making continuing appropriations for fiscal year 2017, and for other purposes," the White House statement read. The package will finance federal operations at 2016 levels for the next three months, thus averting a possible shutdown of the government by Republicans until after US elections in November.
