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:

Narendra Damodardas Modi (Gujarati: [nəreːnd̪rə d̪ɑːmoːd̪ərəd̪ɑːs moːd̪iː], born 17 September 1950) is the 15th and current Prime Minister of India, in office since 26 May 2014. Modi, a leader of the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), was the Chief Minister of Gujarat from 2001 to 2014 and is the Member of Parliament (MP) from Varanasi. He led the BJP in the 2014 general election, which gave the party a majority in the Lok Sabha (the lower house of the Indian parliament) – a first for any party since 1984 – and was credited for 2014 BJP electoral victories in the states of Haryana, Maharashtra, Jharkhand and Jammu and Kashmir.
Since taking office as Prime Minister, Modi's administration has focused on reforming and modernising India's infrastructure and government, reducing bureaucracy, encouraging increased foreign direct investment, improving national standards of health and sanitation and improving foreign relations. Modi has been appreciated for starting initiatives like Swachh Bharat Mission, Make in India and Digital India. Earlier, as Chief Minister of Gujarat, Modi's economic policies (credited with encouraging economic growth in Gujarat) have been praised, although his administration has also been criticised for failing to significantly improve the human development in the state and failing to prevent the 2002 Gujarat riots. A Hindu nationalist and a former member of the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS), Modi remains a controversial figure domestically and internationally, despite his progressivism. Known for his tech savvy image, he is the second most followed politician on social media after U.S. President Barack Obama.

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.

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...
