2003–2005 U.S. Congress
The108th United States Congress was a meeting of the legislative branch of the United States federal government, composed of theUnited States Senate and theUnited States House of Representatives from January 3, 2003, to January 3, 2005, during the third and fourth years ofGeorge W. Bush's presidency .
House members were elected in the2002 general election on November 5, 2002. Senators were elected in three classes in the1998 general election on November 3, 1998,2000 general election on November 7, 2000, or2002 general election on November 5, 2002. The apportionment of seats in the House of Representatives was based on the2000 United States census .
This is the most recent Congress to have a Democratic senator from South Carolina,Fritz Hollings , who retired at the end of the Congress.
Both chambers had aRepublican majority, with the Republicans slightly increasing their edge in the House, and regaining control of the Senate, after party control had switched back and forth during the107th Congress due to various factors. WithPresident Bush , this gave the Republicans an overall federal governmenttrifecta .
