The 111th United States Congress was a meeting of the legislative branch of the United States federal government from January 3, 2009, until January 3, 2011. It began during the last 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.111 hconres 223111 121111 hconres 336
In the November 2008 elections, the Democratic Party increased its majorities in both chambers (including – when factoring in the two Democratic caucusing independents – a brief filibuster-proof 60-40 supermajority in the Senate), and with Barack Obama being sworn in as president on January 20, 2009, this gave Democrats an overall federal government trifecta for the first time since the 103rd Congress in 1993.
However, the Senate supermajority only lasted for a period of 72 working days while the Senate was actually in session. A new delegate seat was created for the Northern Mariana Islands.Consolidated Natural Resources Act of 2008, 110 229 The 111th Congress had the most long-serving members in history: at the start of the 111th Congress, the average member of the House had served 10.3 years, while the average Senator had served 13.4 years.Glassman Matthew Eric Wilhelm Amber Hope Congressional Careers: Service Tenure and Patterns of Member Service, 1789-2015 https://www.fas.org/sgp/crs/misc/R41545.pdf Federation of American Scientists Congressional Research Service January 27, 2015 https://web.archive.org/web/20150219200746/https://www.fas.org/sgp/crs/misc/R41545.pdf February 19, 2015 live The Democratic Party would not simultaneously control both the U.S. House of Representatives and the U.S. Senate again until more than a decade later, during the 117th Congress. After comprising the majority of the House of Representatives since the 106th United States Congress, the 111th United States Congress was the first where Baby boomers comprised the majority of the Senate.Winograd Morley Hais Michael January 5, 2015 Boomer Dominance Means More of the Same in the 114th Congress Brookings Institution https://www.brookings.edu/articles/boomer-dominance-means-more-of-the-same-in-the-114th-congress/ September 12, 2025

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 solicitation of bribes in exchange for an appointment to the Senate. Roland Burris (D) was appointed to the seat on December 31, 2008, but his credentials were not accepted until January 12, 2009.
An election dispute over the Minnesota seat previously held by Norm Coleman (R), between Coleman and challenger Al Franken (D), was decided on June 30, 2009, in favor of Franken.http://stmedia.startribune.com/documents/Election+certificate.pdf?elr=KArks8c7PaP3E77K_3c::D3aDhUxWoW_oD:EaDUiacyKUUr Certificate of Election June 30, 2009 Office of the Minnesota Governor, via StarTribune.com July 1, 2009 https://web.archive.org/web/20121002102939/http://stmedia.startribune.com/documents/Election+certificate.pdf?elr=KArks8c7PaP3E77K_3c::D3aDhUxWoW_oD:EaDUiacyKUUr October 2, 2012 live Franken's admission briefly gave the Senate Democratic caucus 60 votes, enough to defeat a filibuster in a party-line vote.
