The One Hundred Tenth United States Congress is the current meeting of the legislative branch of the United States federal government, composed of the Senate and the House of Representatives. It is scheduled to meet in Washington, D.C. from January 3, 2007 to January 3, 2009, during the last two years of the second administration of President George W. Bush. The apportionment of seats in the House of Representatives was based on the 2000 United States census.

The Democrats control a majority in both chambers for the first time since the end of the 103rd Congress in 1995. No Democratic-held seats fell to the Republicans in the elections to this Congress. Democrat Nancy Pelosi became the first woman Speaker of the House, The House also received the first Muslim and Buddhists in Congress. On December 18 2007, less than halfway through the Congress, the Senate set a new record for the most cloture votes.

Events

Members debated initiatives such as the Democrats' 100-Hour Plan and the Iraq War troop surge of 2007. Republicans in the Senate worked to block nearly every bill proposed by the slim Democratic majority to the dismay of the majority leader, Senator Harry Reid, and frustrated Democrats in the House.

Iraq War

Following President Bush's 2007 State of the Union address, 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. There were various motions by individual Representatives to take various actions.

The House passed a $124 billion emergency spending measure to fund the war, which included language that dictated troop levels and withdrawal schedules. President Bush, however, vetoed the bill as promised, making this his 2nd veto while in office. Fearing that the Public would see them as not supporting the troops, both houses of Congress passed a bill funding the war without timelines, but with benchmarks for the Iraqi Government and money for other spending projects like disaster relief.
