Actually, they gave him authorization to vote for it. They knew it wouldn't get 60 votes.

And that is the point I was originally making here.

AI search:

Quote:Yes, retired postal workers will continue to receive their pensions during a government shutdown, as their payments come from a fund that is separate from annual appropriations and their pensions are paid by the U.S. Postal Service, which is self-funded. Federal retirees under the CSRS and FERS systems will still get their scheduled monthly annuity payments, though the processing of new retirements may experience delays.
