The House has authorized a one-year extension to the government's borrowing authority - until March 16, 2015 - without any conditions by a vote of 221-201 vote.
There had been plans to link the debt-cap vote to restoring cuts to military pensions, but the Republican leadership dropped its demands in order to keep the political focus on Obamacare. Instead, the proposal was added onto a measure renaming an air traffic control center in Nashua in New Hampshire, of all things.
The measure now needs to be approved in the Senate, which has until the end of the month before the government runs out of money.
