The Senate approved by unanimous consent Monday a bill that would pay U.S. military members in the event of a government shutdown.

The bill, passed Saturday by the House, appropriates money to continue pay for military members even if the government’s other spending authority expires. The federal government will shut down Monday at midnight unless Congress passes a new temporary spending bill.
