The longest government shutdown stretched three weeks, from December 1995 into January 1996, under President Bill Clinton and a Republican-led Congress. New guidelines from the attorney general in 1980 and 1981 instructed the federal government to stop normal operations during a funding gap, so gaps before those dates did not result in a full government shutdown.
It may be the first time in 17 years for the federal government, but states are no strangers to government shutdowns. Take Minnesota. For 20 days in July 2011, the Minnesota state government shut down, according to a state report. Nearly 200,000 staff hours were redirected from normal duties to preparation for and recovery from the shutdown. And more than a million pieces of correspondence were sent out at a cost of $552,000.
