The federal government entered a closure in the middle of the night of October 1 when the lawmakers failed to pass new financing bills. It is not clear how long will the stalemate continue, and it does not seem that legislators are closer to reaching an agreement that can reopen the government.
After the closure start, some programs and services became dark and federal workers faced leave. More programs are expected to be affected by a longer closure, and administration officials suggested that federal workers be expelled.
NBC News tracks the continuous closure dates and events in this drawing, which will be updated daily.
The house needs a simple majority to pass a financing bill. However, the Senate needs 60 votes to extend government financing, which means that a financing will need to be obtained more support from the two parties.
Republicans prefer a continuous decision to maintain the latest levels of government financing. Democrats are pushed to expand obamacare subsidies that are set to the end of next year, and to reflect medical discounts, among other provisions.
