The government has shut down three times since 2000, two times under Trump

The government faces a prospective shutdown come midnight as Congress struggles to negotiate a plan to keep it open until March. Though lawmakers are sounding the alarm at the potential disruption to services, the development is not terribly out of the ordinary for recent American politics.

Since the year 2000, the government has had three shutdowns, two of which occurred during Trump's first term. Here's a look at how those played out.

2013: Obamacare shutdown

The government shutdown for slightly over two weeks in October of 2013 as Republicans sought to include provisions to delay funding for the Affordable Care Act in a 2014 appropriations bill. Congress ultimately approved an appropriations bill with a provision to suspend the debt limit into 2014 and the Obamacare exchanges launched as initially planned.

2018: Immigration shutdown over DACA

The government shut down for four days in January of 2018 over a dispute involving immigration policy, particularly the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) executive order. Democrats agreed to approve a Republican appropriations bill after the GOP agreed to renew negotiations on DACA.

2018-2019: Border wall

The 35-day shutdown was the longest in U.S. history and was the result of Democratic opposition to funding for his signature border wall. It ultimately resulted in the reopening of the government without border wall funding.
