The House of Representatives impeached him last month over his role in the deadly January 6 siege of the US Capitol by a pro-Trump mob, and his trial -- the first of a former president -- will feature the Senate's 100 members sitting as jurors.Trump's legal team Monday denounced the case as unconstitutional, calling it "absurd" to hold the former president responsible for the violence.

The Friday vote was 62-82, with ten Democrats voting with all Republicans. The sole Republican to vote with the opposition was Senator Rand Paul (R-Ky.).

Democrats who voted to avert a government shutdown include minority leader Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.), Dick Durbin (D-Ill.) and Catherine Cortez-Masto (D-Nev.).

Schumer switched up his rhetoric half-way through the week, deciding to vote for the measure.

The stop gap will keep the current federal spending levels the same throughout September.

President Donald Trump will now sign it into law.
