📖 Key Information

A government shutdown occurs when the legislative branch does not pass key bills which fund or authorize the operations of the executive branch, resulting in the cessation of some or all operations of a government. Government shutdowns can reduce public trust in politics. In presidential systems, the executive branch typically has the authority to keep the government functioning, usually on a reduced level, even without an approved budget.
