History of Government shutdowns in the United States in Timeline
Government shutdowns in the United States happen when Congress fails to pass funding legislation before the start of the new fiscal year. This leads to the curtailment of many federal services, the furloughing of non-essential workers, and the continuation of only essential services that protect life and property. Shutdowns can affect state, territorial, and local governments as well by disrupting funding and operations.
