The
One Hundred Eleventh United States Congress was the
meeting of the
legislative branch of the United States federal government from January 3, 2009 until January 3, 2011. It began during the last two weeks of the
George W. Bush administration, with the remainder spanning the first two years of
Barack Obama's presidency. 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. In the
November 4, 2008 elections, the
Democratic Party increased its
majorities in both chambers. A new
delegate seat was created for the
Northern Mariana Islands.
Major events
January 2009: Two Senate seats were disputed when the Congress convened:
# An appointment dispute over the Illinois seat vacated by President Barack Obama arose following Illinois Governor Rod Blagojevich's alleged solicitation of bribes in exchange for an appointment to the Senate. Roland Burris (D) was appointed to the seat on December 31, 2008, his credentials were accepted on January 12, 2009, and he was sworn in to office on January 15, 2009.
# An election dispute over the
Minnesota seat previously held by
Norm Coleman (R), between Coleman and challenger
Al Franken (D), was decided in late June 2009 in favor of Franken, who was sworn in on July 7, 2009.
January 8, 2009:
Joint session counted the
Electoral College votes of the
2008 presidential election.
January 20, 2009: Inauguration of President Barack Obama and Vice President Joe Biden.
September 9, 2009: President Obama addressed a joint session of Congress to promote health care reform, which Representative Joe Wilson (R) interrupted by shouting at the President.
January 25, 2010: 2010 State of the Union Address
April 20, 2010: Deepwater Horizon oil spill
November 2, 2010: 2010 general elections, in which Republicans regained control of the House while the Democrats remained in control of the Senate.

Affordable Health Care for America Act (known as the House bill)
America's Healthy Future Act (known as the Baucus bill)
