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.
Prior to 1990, funding gaps did not always lead to government shutdowns, but since 1990 the practice has been to shut down the government for all funding gaps. Shutdowns have also occurred at the state/territorial and local levels of government. During the Reagan administration, there were three funding gaps leading to shutdowns lasting one day or less. A funding gap in 1990 during the George H. W. Bush administration caused a weekend shutdown. During the Clinton administration, there were two full government shutdowns during 1995 and 1996 lasting 5 and 21 days respectively, the longest to that date, leading to furloughs and significant disruption. The president and congress disagreed on whether to cut government services.
