Thirty years ago today, November 3, 1995 (September 11, 1995 in the lunar calendar), U.S. government agencies were partially shut down. President Clinton vetoed a congressional bill. On November 3, 1995, U.S. President Clinton vetoed a temporary spending bill passed by Congress, which resulted in the U.S. government being forced to close some of its agencies due to lack of funds. About 800,000 federal employees went home and waited for orders. This is the fifth time since 1981 that the U.S. government has closed some agencies. This unprecedented budget crisis triggered a strong reaction from the American public, and Clinton had to cancel his trip to Osaka. The U.S. election is approaching, and the Republican Party believes that its promise to achieve a balanced budget within seven years was an important reason for its victory in the mid-term elections last year. Realizing this promise will be beneficial to next year's presidential election, so it is firmly committed to balancing the budget. However, the White House tit-for-tat and refused to allow the Republican Party to succeed. After a fierce battle, the U.S. Senate and House of Representatives passed a temporary spending bill on the 19th, allowing the government to basically operate normally until December 15, thus temporarily ending the budget crisis. But Clinton warned that the closure of some government agencies could be repeated.
