2007–2009 U.S. legislative term
House of Representatives member pin for the 110th U.S. Congress The110th United States Congress was ameeting of thelegislative branch of theUnited States federal government , between January 3, 2007, and January 3, 2009, during the last two years of thePresidency of George W. Bush . It was composed of theSenate and theHouse of Representatives . Theapportionment of seats in the House was based on the2000 U.S. census .[ 1]
TheDemocratic Party won amajority in both chambers, giving them full control of Congress for the first time since the103rd Congress in 1993, which was also the previous time they controlled the House.
Officially in the Senate, there were 49 Democrats, 49 Republicans, and twoindependents , but because both of the independentscaucused with the Democrats, this gave the Democrats an operational majority. No Democratic-held seats had fallen to theRepublican Party in the2006 elections .[ 2]
This is the most recent Congress to feature Republican senators from Minnesota (Norm Coleman ), New Mexico (Pete Domenici ) and Oregon (Gordon Smith ), in which Domenici retired and the other two lost re-election at the end of the Congress.
DemocratNancy Pelosi became the first femalespeaker of the House .[ 3] Muslim (Keith Ellison )[ 4] [ 5] Buddhist (Hank Johnson andMazie Hirono )[ 6]
Members debated initiatives such as the Democrats'100-Hour Plan and theIraq War troop surge of 2007.[ 7] [ 8] [ 9]
President Bush delivered the2007 State of the Union Address on January 23, 2007 President Bush delivered the2008 State of the Union Address on January 28, 2008 Support for the Iraq War [ edit ] Following President Bush's2007 State of the Union Address , Congress debated his proposal to create a troop surge to increasesecurity in Iraq. The House of Representatives passed a non-binding measure opposing the surge and then 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 second veto while in office. Both houses of Congress subsequently passed abill funding the war without timelines, but withbenchmarks for theIraqi government and money for other spending projects likedisaster relief .
