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.

quote:

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 realize you crave appearing intelligent but you've failed at it again.

The shutdowns under Carter worked the same as the one now.

The only difference was a legal opinion in Carter's last year in office (not a law) said shutdowns were legal.

Shut up. Thanks.
