Before 1980, agencies <a href=\"https:\/\/history.house.gov\/Institution\/Shutdown\/Government-Shutdowns\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">largely continued operating<\/a> during a lapse in funding with the assumption that Congress would act quickly. But in 1980 and 1981, then-Attorney General Benjamin Civiletti authored a series of legal opinions that found government agencies didn&#8217;t have the authority to continue running during a gap in funding.<\/p>\n<p>President Ronald Reagan oversaw eight shutdowns during his time in office, the longest of which lasted three days. There were three funding gaps between 1990 and 1995, then none until 2013.<\/p>\n<p>The threat of a government shutdown has become more frequent over the past decade, as Congress has found itself engaged in funding fights that are ultimately resolved with massive, year-long spending packages. The most recent lapse in government funding, in late 2018, caused $3 billion in permanent losses, according to the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbo.gov\/system\/files\/2019-01\/54937-PartialShutdownEffects.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Congressional Budget Office<\/a>.
