It occurred in November 1995, when Bill Clinton was president and it lasted 27 days total. It began as a battle over spending, between President Clinton and his adversary Republican Newt Gingrich, the leader of the House of Representatives. Clinton wanted to expand funding for Medicare and for education, but the Republicans objected. When no agreement or compromise could be reached, Gingrich decided to shut the government down to make his point. It proved to be a very unpopular decision and cost Republicans seats in the next election.
The longest government shutdown lasted for 21 days. It happened in the 1995-1996 term.
It lasted a total of sixteen days, finally ending on October 16th late in the evening.

Yes they did, which was one of the most annoying things for government workers-- they lost sixteen days of pay, while senators and representatives who had caused the shutdown continued to receive their paychecks.
Under a bill passed by congress and signed by the president, the military did receive their pay during the shutdown. And other federal employees are supposed to receive retroactive back-pay for the money they did not receive during the sixteen days the government was shut down.
There is currently no democracy in the US due to the Republican's being idiots and casuing a FEDERAL GOVERNMENT SHUTDOWN so currenlty The United States of America is run by the ILLUMINATI
