Why would the government shut down tonight?
At the federal level, a shutdown can happen when disagreement exists among the Senate, the House, and/or the President regarding a budget to finance government programs. In the absence of appropriated funds, the government discontinues providing non-essential services at the beginning of the affected fiscal year. Government employees who provide essential services, often referred to as "essential employees," are required to continue working. For years, many federal agencies continued to operate during a funding gap while minimizing nonessential operations and obligations, believing that Congress did not intend that agencies close down while waiting for appropriations to be enacted. During the fiscal year 1981 appropriations process, President Ronald Reagan requested opinions on the Antdeficiency Act from the then-U.S. Attorney General, Benjamin Civiletti. In two memoranda issued in 1980 and 1981, the Attorney General stated that the act required agencies to terminate all operations when their current appropriations expired.
