107th United States Congress
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
|
The One Hundred Seventh United States Congress was a meeting of the legislative branch of the United States federal government, comprised of the United States Senate and the United States House of Representatives. It met in Washington, DC from January 3, 2001 to January 3, 2003, during the first two years of the first administration of U.S. President George W. Bush.
The apportionment of seats in this House of Representatives was based on the Twenty-first Census of the United States in 1990. Both chambers had a Republican majority until June 6, 2001, after which the Senate had a Democratic majority.

This Congress began in the final days of the Clinton Administration. Hillary Rodham Clinton, wife of outgoing President Bill Clinton, was sworn in as a Senator from New York, and a Joint session of Congress met to count the electoral votes in the contentious 2000 Presidential election. An unprecedented split in the United States Senate 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 Iraq.
- January 3, 2001: The Senate began the Congress evenly split, 50-50, between two parties. In the House, there was merely a 9-seat Republican advantage. Hillary Rodham Clinton, wife of outgoing Democratic President Bill Clinton, became the first presidential spouse to serve in Congress. Considering that Democrat Al Gore was still Vice President and had the constitutional authority to break ties, this gave the Democrats a slim majority for the 17 days between the January 3 swearing-in of the new Congress and the January 20 inauguration of Republican Vice President Dick Cheney.
- January 20, 2001: George W. Bush and Dick Cheney were sworn-in as President of the United States and Vice President of the United States, respectively, giving the Republicans a narrow majority in the Senate with Cheney's tie-breaking power.
- June 6, 2001: Senator Jim Jeffords, previously a Republican, declared himself an independent and announced he will vote with the Democrats, giving Democrats control in the Senate with a one-seat advantage. Democrat Tom Daschle became Senate Majority Leader.
- September 11, 2001: The September 11, 2001 attacks: Terrorists flew hijacked commercial airplanes into the World Trade Center in New York City and The Pentagon in Washington, D.C., killing 3,000 people. Another hijacked flight believed to be headed for either the White House or the United States Capitol was diverted by passengers who took control of the plane from hijackers and crashed it into a field in rural western Pennsylvania.
- October 9, 2001: Anthrax attacks were executed against members of the Senate, including Senate Majority Leader Tom Daschle.
- December 2001: The corporate financial scandals, including those affecting Enron, Arthur Andersen, Tyco, and WorldCom (now MCI).
