President Biden on Saturday signed the emergency measure approved by Congress on Friday to prevent a government shutdown.
The White House announced that Biden signed the bill in a short statement.
The bill would continue funding the government through March 14, provide disaster relief and extend farm laws.
The House approved the bill Friday night after a dramatic week in which President-elect Trump and his allies rejected a sweeping bipartisan bill that would expand government funding.
The bill included a number of other issues, including raising salaries for lawmakers. House Republicans were outraged by the bill, which was withdrawn after opposition from President Trump and tech moguls Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy.
President Trump then called for a debt ceiling increase to be included in the bill. This led to a second bill being introduced and voted on in the House of Representatives. Almost all Democrats in the House voted against the bill, along with 38 Republicans, and it was defeated.
Democrats said they could not agree to Trump's last-minute addition of debt increases to fund tax cuts and spending when he takes office.
Republicans opposed to the measure also disliked the language of the debt ceiling and called for offsetting spending cuts.
In the end, the House approved a cleaner bill that also included agricultural and disaster assistance. The measure was also approved by the Senate.
