President Donald Trump signed a bill on Feb. 3 to end the four-day partial government shutdown. The House of Representatives narrowly passed the major funding package. The bill fully funds five sectors of the federal government for a full year and funding for Homeland Security until Feb. 13. The bill faced resistance from some Republicans who initially objected to the absence of the Save Act, which would require voter ID in federal elections.

Rep. Anna Paulina Luna (R-Fla.) initially opposed the measure but later reversed her position, saying she had been told Senate Majority Leader John Thune (R-S.D.) would bring the bill to the floor.
