US Government Shutdown Ending Deal Delayed as Senate Must Amend Three Bills Before Reopening

COINOTAG News, November 10 — The Hill reports that, although the U.S. Senate has cleared a procedural vote to end the government shutdown, crucial steps remain before the federal government can reopen. The briefing emphasizes that passage alone is not a final funding resolution; further actions will shape the fiscal calendar and policy risk as markets react to the evolving budget negotiations.

Following the procedural vote, the Senate must amend three appropriations bills—Legislative, Military Construction, and Agriculture (including the SNAP program)—and resend them to the House of Representatives for concurrence. Each modification triggers a 30‑hour debate window, potentially elongating the timeline and injecting policy drag into the process.

With a debate-driven timetable, the Democrats could slow deliberations, pushing reopening toward mid‑week; a quicker path could complete the package tonight or tomorrow night. The current procedural apparatus thus remains the decisive variable in the final schedule.
