107th United States Congress
Encyclopedia
The One Hundred Seventh United States Congress was a meeting of the legislative branch of the United States
federal government, composed of the United States Senate
and the United States House of Representatives
. It met in Washington, D.C.
from January 3, 2001 to January 3, 2003, during the final weeks of the Clinton
presidency
and the first two years of the George W. Bush
presidency. The apportionment of seats in this House of Representatives
was based on the Twenty-first Census of the United States in 1990
. The House of Representatives had a Republican
majority, and the Senate switched majorities from Democratic
to Republican and back to Democratic.
and the defection of a single Senator led to three changes in majorities. After the September 11 attacks, some Senators were targeted by anthrax attacks. Finally, the Congress voted to allow the President to attack Saddam Hussein in Iraq.
Senators are listed by their Senatorial Class.
Many of the congressional district numbers are linked to articles describing the district itself. Since the boundaries of the districts have changed often and substantially, the linked article may only describe the district as it exists today, and not as it was at the time of this Congress.
