Sign the bill into law.

Explanation: Congress funds the government through appropriations bills. For the shutdown-ending bill to take effect the president must sign it (or let it become law without signature if Congress is in session). A veto would keep the shutdown, and a directive or declared emergency cannot legally substitute for congressional appropriations.
