Rep. John Faso voted Dec. 7 for a budget resolution that keeps the government operating for two weeks. The resolution passed 235-193, largely on party lines, averting a government shutdown, at least until just before Christmas. Senators voted for the measure later 81-14. New York's Chuck Schumer voted for the bill; Kirsten Gillibrand voted against it.
