New Delhi, Oct 17 (ANI): US President Barack Obama on Thursday signed a bill ending the two-week US government shutdown and extending the Treasury's borrowing authority. The US Congress passed the bill to reopen the government and raise the federal debt limit. The Democratic-controlled Senate's bipartisan compromise won approval by 81 votes to 18. The deal was then passed by 285-144 in the House of Representatives, whose Republican leadership begrudgingly agreed to support the measure.
