Trump And Congress Imphase

With President Donald Trump and Congress at an impasse over federal spending, the country is bracing for a partial government shutdown that would shutter offices, hold up paychecks during the holiday season and affect popular tourist attractions nationwide.

Federal employees sought to figure out whether they will be paid and whether they will fall into the category of "excepted" workers who would be expected to show up no matter how long the impasse lasts between Congress and President Trump.
