Letter from President Obama to US Government employees affected by the shutdown in 2013. In United States politics, a government shutdown is the process the Executive Branch must enter into when Congress and the President fail to pass legislation funding government operations and agencies.
The 16-day-long shutdown of October 2013 was the third-longest government shutdown in U.S. history, after the 18-day shutdown in 1978 and the 21-day 1995â96 shutdown. A funding-gap was created when the two chambers of Congress failed to agree to an appropriations continuing resolution.
