110th United States Congress
Encyclopedia
The One Hundred Tenth United States Congress was the meeting of the legislative branch
of the United States federal government
, between January 3, 2007, and January 3, 2009, during the last two years of the second term
of President
George W. Bush
. It was composed of the Senate
and the House of Representatives
. The apportionment of seats in the House was based on the 2000 U.S. census.
The Democratic Party
controlled a majority
in both chambers for the first time since the end of the 103rd Congress
in 1995. Although the Democrats held fewer than 50 Senate seats, they had an operational majority because the two independent
senators caucused
with the Democrats for organizational purposes. No Democratic-held seats had fallen to the Republican Party
in the 2006 elections
. Democrat Nancy Pelosi
became the first woman Speaker of the House
. The House also received the first Muslims
(Keith Ellison
) and Buddhists
(Hank Johnson
and Mazie Hirono
) in Congress.
and the Iraq War troop surge
of 2007.
, Congress debated his proposal to create a troop surge to increase security
in Iraq. The House of Representatives passed a non-binding measure opposing the surge and then a $
124 billion emergency spending measure to fund the war, which included language that dictated troop levels and withdrawal schedules. President Bush, however, veto
ed the bill as promised, making this his second veto while in office. Both houses of Congress subsequently passed a bill funding the war without timelines, but with benchmarks
for the Iraqi government
and money for other spending projects like disaster relief
.
These are partial lists of prominent enacted legislation and pending bills.
