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.
But the threat to shut down the government is not one that Republicans are unfamiliar with. Under the Obama administration, Congressional Republicans had major confrontations over budget disputes that ended in a government shutdown or partial shutdown. A funding gap on October 1, 2013, the first day of the 2014 fiscal year, occurred after disagreements over the Affordable Care Act, or Obamacare, causing the first government shutdown in over 17 years.
