Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A continuing resolution is a temporary law that Congress passes to keep the government funded when an appropriations bill has not been decided by the beginning of the fiscal year. It allows the government to continue operating at the previous year's funding levels until a new budget is passed. Emergency resolution, budget extension, preview budget, and temporary budget are not commonly used terms in the context of government budgeting.
