Federal agencies were ordered to beginning shutting down late Monday evening amid finger-pointing between Democrats and Republicans as to who was responsible for the United States’ first government stoppage in 17 years.
“Unfortunately, we do not have a clear indication that Congress will act in time for the President to sign a Continuing Resolution before the end of the day tomorrow, October 1, 2013,” said Sylvia M. Burwell, Director of the White House Office of Management and Budget in a memo. “Therefore, agencies should now execute plans for an orderly shutdown due to the absence of appropriations.”
Earlier Monday evening, the Senate killed the House of Representative’s continuing resolution that would have funded the government while delaying the Affordable Care Act by one year. That sent the debate back to the House, where Republican leaders moved to appoint negotiators to a joint House-Senate conference in order to work out the differences between the two chambers’ government-funding bills.
House Majority Leader Eric Cantor (R-Va.) tweeted that the House would have one final vote Monday evening pushing its latest Obamacare-delaying amendment while also requesting a conference with the Senate.

President Barack Obama released a video message early Tuesday morning thanking American servicemembers and Defense Department personnel for their service as most of the federal government shutdown began.
The message, taped hours before the shutdown, features the president addressing the impacts of the shutdown on the Defense Department. Active duty military will continue to serve—and will get paid, thanks to a last-minute measure passed by Congress Monday and signed by the president less than two hours before the government shutdown. Many DOD civilians will be furloughed, while others deemed essential will be required to work without pay.
“Every time, you’ve met your responsibilities and performed with extraordinary professionalism, skill and courage,” Obama said in the video. “Unfortunately, Congress has not fulfilled its responsibility. It has failed to pass a budget and, as a result, much of our government must now shut down until Congress funds it again.”
The video is the latest salvo in the White House’s efforts to portray the president as effectively managing the government shutdown, while increasing pressure on Congress to reopen the federal government.
