If the government begins shuttering Saturday, much of its work will discontinue. Although, senior administration officials will apply what they called flexibility to shutdown rules that contain a variety of exceptions.
Social Security payments would be deposited as 53,000 workers for tat agency stay on the job, as world Medicare reimbursements, because the payments don't rely on annual appropriation. In addition, Mr. Trump's agencies will aim to go further than previous shutdowns and existing plans, keeping agencies like the Environmental Protection Agency opened with unused funds, as well as national parks.
Trump's own activities, including planned travel to Switzerland, can continue under an exemption for activity required by the president to carry out his constitutional duties. Defense Secretary Jim Mattis also isn't halting a planned trip to Asia; the military will generally continue operations, as will the Department of Homeland Security under exceptions for essential activities.
Whats more, the United States Postal service is an independent agency. So quit fretting, meth heads.
what about USPS will we continue to still get mail lol
