A congress is a formal meeting of the representatives of different nations, constituent states, independent organizations (such as trade unions), or groups.
The term was chosen for the Continental Congress to emphasize the status of each colony represented there as a self-governing unit. Subsequent to the use of congress by the U.S. legislature, the term has been adopted by many states within unions, and by unitary nation-states in the Americas, to refer to their legislatures.
The following congresses were formal meetings of representatives of different nations:
Countries with Congresses and presidential systems:
Donald John Trump, Sr. (born June 14, 1946) is an American businessperson and media personality. He is the chairman and president of The Trump Organization and the founder of Trump Entertainment Resorts. Trump's career, branding efforts, personal life, wealth, and outspoken manner have made him famous throughout the country. Since 2015, he is also a candidate for the Republican nomination for President of the United States in the 2016 election.
Trump is a native of New York City and a son of Fred Trump, who inspired him to enter real estate development. After two years at Fordham University and while studying at Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania, Trump worked for his father's firm, Elizabeth Trump & Son. Upon graduating in 1968 he joined the company, and in 1971 was given control, renaming the company "The Trump Organization". Since then he has built hotels, golf courses, and other properties, many of which bear his name. He is a major figure in the American business scene and has received prominent media exposure. The NBC reality show The Apprentice bolstered his fame, and his three marriages were extensively reported in tabloids.
The Polish American ethnic group consists of Americans who have total or partial Polish heritage. There are an estimated 9.5 million Polish Americans, representing about 3% of the U.S. population.
Polish Americans are the largest European ethnic group of Slavic origin in the United States, second largest Central and Eastern European group and the eighth largest immigrant group overall.
Polish immigration began in 1608, when the first Polish settlers arrived at the Virginia Colony as skilled craftsmen. From the beginning of Polish immigration to the United States to the mid-20th century, Poles were victims of anti-Polish sentiment in American society. This was partially based on ethnic prejudice against Poles and Slavs in general, and additionally caused by their majority non-Protestant, Catholic religion. At the time ethnic Poles in America were viewed as a non-white racial group. Two early immigrants, Kazimierz Pułaski and Tadeusz Kościuszko, led armies in the Revolutionary War and are remembered as national heroes. Overall, more than one million Poles and Polish subjects have immigrated to the United States, primarily during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Exact immigration numbers are unknown. Many immigrants were classified as "Russian", "German", and "Austrian" by the U.S. Immigration and Naturalization Service because the Polish state did not exist from 1795 to 1918, and its borders had been dismantled through World War I and World War II. Complicating the U.S. Census figures further are the high proportion of Polish Americans who marry outside their ethnicity; in 1940, about 50 percent married other American ethnics, and a study in 1988 found that 54 percent of Polish Americans three generations or higher had been of mixed ancestry. The Polish American Cultural Center places a figure of Americans who have some Polish ancestry at 19-20 million.
serves subpoena to FBI witness for all Clinton email documents during hearing 'You are hereby served 'House Oversight subpoenas FBI for Clinton investigation on the spot A top FBI official testifying about the bureau’s withholding of information pertaining to the investigation of Hillary Clinton’s e-mail scandal was issued a subpoena on the spot by the chairman of the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform. The subpoena was issued on live, national television. It would appear Congress is a little fed up with people covering up for Hillary’s lawlessness. Rep. Jason Chaffetz was clearly frustrated by the FBI’s stonewalling of information on an investigation that allowed Clinton to skate after mishandling classified information during her tenure at the State Department. He as...
Rep. Trent Franks, (R-AZ), on Congress’ vote to reject President Obama’s veto of the 9/11 bill.
The U.S. Congress has voted to override President Barack Obama’s veto of a bill that would allow lawsuits against Saudi Arabia for the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001. As VOA’s Michael Bowman reports, Wednesday’s tallies in both houses of Congress were overwhelming and marked the first time an Obama veto has been overturned.

9/28/2016 Representative Smith (R-TX) requests James Comey / FBI Director to re-open the Hillary Clinton Email Scandal Case in light of several large pieces of new information that has surfaced since the FBI closed the case in July. James Comey affirmed there is no such thing as "Lifetime Immunity." Today, the House Judiciary Committee will hear from Director James Comey on the challenges facing the FBI and how the FBI is addressing them. From San Bernardino to Orlando to the most recent terrorist attacks in New York, New Jersey, and Minnesota, the United States has experienced a rise in radical Islamic terrorism and we must ensure that the FBI has the resources needed for its counterterrorism efforts in order to thwart these heinous plots and protect Americans from harm.

Video Transcript: CHAD PERGRAM: The Senate voted 97 to 1 early this afternoon. It went to the House, the vote there was 348 to 77. You need a two-thirds vote in both bodies and they were well above that threshold in both bodies here. President Obama argued this decision to override could be dangerous. OBAMA: So this is a dangerous precedent and its an example of why sometimes you have to do what’s hard. And frankly, I wish Congress here had done what’s hard. I didn’t expect it because if you’re perceived as voting against 9/11 families right before an election, not surprisingly that’s a hard vote for people take. But it would have been the right thing to do. This Democrat senator disagrees arguing they closed a loophole established by the courts. RICHARD BLUMENTHAL: What we’ve done he...

Republicans charge that Hillary Clinton lied to Congress about classified e-mails she sent and received while secretary of state — a felony. But it is highly unlikely the Justice Department will do anything about it. http://www.thenewamerican.com/usnews/congress/item/23888-republicans-accuse-clinton-of-lying-to-congress?tmpl=component&print;=1 Disclaimer: This YouTube channel is in no way endorsed by or affiliated with the author(s) or publisher of this article.

No one knows, no one understands the mysteries that will
become us.
Life and death as a circle, the start and the end.
The sun and the moon will become as horizons fade into
the timeless seasons.
Words of wisdom once spoken, oppositions shattered yet
unbroken.
Sunset forever embrace the dark.
Travel throughout your destiny, arriving in a place
you'll never see.
And when the sun freezes over and when the heart stops in
our chest,
our teeth will split and our tongue rots in our mouth,
Watch me fall and watch me grow,
the valued seed will blossom once more and spread the
blood forever.
The past sprouts forth memories as bitter as the taste of
our enemies.
Only a vauld stench of shriveled remains,
we look towards the horizons and watch our beloved fade
away...
