Most Presidential democracies have systems like that; which would include most of the Americas. Hell, France is kind of going through that right now as well.

Even then, government shutdowns didn't become a thing until the 1980's.

For France we don't have an acting government as now but people not being payed is not a possibility. If the budget is not voted, the system use the previous budget to continue to act and pay the salaries.

Which is how the USA worked until 1980.
