Democrats will follow up the 25th Amendment vote with impeachment proceedings in the House on January 13, 2021. The single charge of "incitement of insurrection" is all but sure to get majority support. (Photo by SAUL LOEB / AFP)

Washington. El Congreso de Estados Unidos aprobó la madrugada del sábado una ley de presupuesto para financiar las agencias y reparticiones federales hasta setiembre y evitar así una parálisis parcial de las actividades del gobierno.

El Senado rebasó el plazo fijado en la medianoche del viernes, pero tras alcanzar un acuerdo demócratas y republicanos se votó la partida por $1,2 billones, después de que la Cámara de Representantes (baja) aprobara la iniciativa.

“No fue fácil, pero esta noche nuestra perseverancia ha valido la pena (...) Es bueno para el pueblo estadounidense que hayamos llegado a un acuerdo bipartidista para terminar el trabajo”, declaró el líder de la mayoría demócrata en el Senado, Chuck Schumer.
