Obama: Budget Impasse 'Damaged' US Credibility

US Fiscal Deal Timeline

Updated: 5:43pm UK, Thursday 17 October 2013

Key moments during Congress' battle over the partial government shutdown and expiring federal borrowing authority:

:: Sept 20 - Republican-run House ignores White House veto threat, votes to keep government open through Dec 15 but only if President Obama agrees to halt money for his health care law.

:: Sept 24-25 - Tea party Sen Ted Cruz and other conservatives speak on Senate floor for more than 21 consecutive hours about using shutdown bill to weaken health care law.

:: Sept 27 - Democratic-led Senate removes House-approved provision defunding Obamacare, and sends bill keeping agencies open through Nov 15 back to House.

:: Sept 29 - House shifts demands on health care law, votes to delay implementation for a year and repeal tax on medical devices.

:: Sept 30 - Senate rejects revised House provisions curbing health care law.

:: Oct 1 - Government's new fiscal year begins, partial federal shutdown starts, around 800,000 workers furloughed.

:: Oct 2 - House approves first of more than a dozen bills restarting popular programmes, reopening national parks and National Institutes of Health medical research.

Over the next two weeks, Democrats mostly vote "no", saying entire government must reopen, and Senate ignores the measures.

:: Oct 4 - Republicans increasingly tie shutdown fight to need for Congress to renew federal borrowing authority by Oct 17 or risk economy-rattling government default.

:: Oct 5 - Defence Secretary Chuck Hagel says he is bringing most of his department's 350,000 furloughed workers back to work immediately.

:: Oct 10 - Speaker John Boehner proposes six-week debt limit extension, conditioned on Mr Obama bargaining over spending cuts and reopening government.

:: Oct 11 - A bipartisan Senate group works on a measure that would reopen the government and prevent the US from defaulting on its bills.

:: Oct 12 - Mr Boehner tells House Republicans that negotiations with White House have stalled. Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid and Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell begin talks.

:: Oct 14 - Mr Reid and Mr McConnell say they have made progress toward a deal extending debt limit and reopening government.

:: Oct 15 - House GOP effort to craft its own plan collapses after Mr Boehner fails to gain enough Republican support for two alternatives that are more conservative than evolving Senate plan.

:: Oct 16 - Senate and House hold a late-night vote to approve a deal announced earlier by Mr Reid and Mr McConnell, reopening government through Jan 15 and extending the debt limit to Feb 7.
