Congressional Republicans are looking to avoid the inconvenience of government shutdowns by eliminating them altogether through legislation that would trigger automatic spending deals if there is a “lapse” in the appropriations process.

Rep. Dusty Johnson (R-SD) introduced the Eliminate Shutdowns Act on Tuesday, which would trigger an automatic, 14-day continuing resolution when the deadline for government funding arrives. If Congress cannot pass an appropriations bill or a longer CR at the end of the 14-day “auto CR,” then the deadline is punted for another 14 days, and so on until the normal funding process is completed.
