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.
Well, they did it. The US government is officially on a partial shutdown, with Congress having failed to reach an agreement by midnight on Monday. The shutdown will have far-reaching effects throughout the US. Though some services â mail delivery, Social Security and Medicare benefits â are not affected, others, like national parks and routine safety inspections of food, are curtailed as the majority of federal employees tasked with their operation have been ordered not to report to work on Tuesday.
