At that point he will be the pin to approve or disapprove.
The house has made a statement by passing a budget with strong politcal undertones.
The world will still turn if they shut down, however this mess they pass of a budget will still be a lessened spending increase.
Politics are a heap of fun.

The media is stupid-[;)] NCIC(National Crime Information Center) is run buy the FBI and has other purpose's than just background checks for guns. I think NCIC will be open for business as usual.
Good Sweet Mother of Mary! Will there be anyone left? [;)][:0]

If they are non-essential, why are the even there? Don

I keep asking that question too.
And fiery auto crashes
Some will die in hot pursuit
While sifting through my ashes
Some will fall in love with life
And drink it from a fountain
That is pouring like an avalanche
Coming down the mountain

It is long since past time to stop raising the debt limit & live within our means. No essential government services should even see any effect, just all the stupid giveaways.
