Senate Passes Long Term Spending Bill To Avoid Government Shutdown-abcnews: The massive spending package cleared the upper chamber on a 56-to-40 vote late Saturday, after stalling Friday due to demands from Sens. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, and Mike Lee, R-Utah, for a vote to defund President Obama's executive action on immigration. The president is expected to sign the measure before a short-term extension expires at midnight Wednesday.
