Yes, it has. One recent example is in 1995, when Republicans in the House of Representatives shut down the government for a total of 27 days. Led by Speaker of the House Newt Gingrich, they objected to President Clinton's spending priorities, and when no agreement could be reached, the Republicans shut down the government. It turned out badly for them-- the public soon became outraged and a number of Republicans were not re-elected in the next congress.
