For anyone who thinks "government shutdowns" are a recent phenomenon, it's not...

There were FIVE federal goverment shutdowns during Jimmy Carter's four years as President.
Three of those shutdowns happened in one year, 1977, for a total of 28 days.
The 1978 shutdown lasted 18 days.
And the Democrat Party controlled both houses of congress all 4 years that Carter was in office.
This, too, shall pass.

I don’t think anyone thinks that.
And it’s always annoying when politicians don’t do the job(s) they were elected to do.
Same as it ever was.

From memory Clinton had at least one.
In Carter’s case I can see him pissing off his own party enough to have multiple shutdowns.

If it means Congress getting off their arse and actually passing legislation instead of waiting on pissed off presidents to use EOs to do everything then I'm good with it.
Sometime, you gotta get a little shite on your shoes.

Jimmy Carter’s attorney general set up the current guidelines for a government shut down.
It’s not accurate to equate Jimmy Carter’s shutdowns to later shut downs. The current procedure we have in place was instated AFTER jimmy carters 5 shut downs.

As Jimmy Carter’s attorney general, Civiletti was asked for a legal opinion parsing out what exactly the federal bureaucracy is supposed to do when Congress doesn’t pass a budget by deadline.
quote:
The “legal authority for continued operations either exists or it does not,” he writes. And to those who argue that federal agency operations ought to carry on even without appropriated funds because Congress doesn’t mean for the government to shutdown, he responded thusly: “Faithful execution of the laws cannot rest on mere speculation that Congress does not want the Executive branch to carry out Congress’ unambiguous mandates.”

I'm bumping this thread for Rex who is trying to lie his way through the current government shutdown claiming it's the first time in history a government shutdown has happened when one party controls the White House and has a majority in both houses of congress.
You're wrong, Rexie Poo.

The incidences you cite under Carter were not shutdowns. No government functions were shut down and no government workers were sent home nor denied pay.

Government likes shutdowns cause they all get a bunch of paid days off, at our expense of course.
