Bush's presidency. House members were elected in the 2004 elections on November 2, 2004. Senators were elected in three classes in the 2000 elections on November 7, 2000, 2002 elections on November 5, 2002, or 2004 elections on November 2, 2004. The apportionment of seats in the House of Representatives was based on the 2000 United States census. This is the most recent Congress to feature a Republican senator from Rhode Island, Lincoln Chafee, who lost re-election in 2006. The Republicans maintained control of both the House and the Senate (slightly increasing their majority in both chambers), and with the reelection of President Bush, the Republicans maintained an overall federal government trifecta. 2 Major events 2005 in the United States 2006 in the United States 2007 in the United States January 6, 2005: A joint session to count the presidential Electoral College votes of the 2004 presidential election. January 20, 2005 — President George W. Bush began his second term. November 7, 2006 — California Representative Nancy Pelosi and Nevada Senator Harry Reid led the Democratic Party in taking control of both the House and the Senate in the 2006 congressional elections, the first time in 12 years the Democrats secure control of both houses of Congress simultaneously. Prominent events included the filibuster "nuclear option" scare, the failure of the federal government to promptly respond to Hurricane Katrina disaster relief, the Tom DeLay corruption investigation, Plamegate, the rising unpopularity of the Iraq War, the 2006 immigration reform protests and government involvement in the Terri Schiavo case. In addition to the DeLay indictment, this Congress also had a number of scandals: Bob Ney, Randy "Duke" Cunningham, William J. Jefferson, Mark Foley scandal, and the Jack Abramoff scandals. This Congress met for 242 days, the fewest since World War II and 12 days fewer than the 80th Congress.Opinion Our view on Congress wrapping up: 109th Congress' big success: Lowering the achievement bar USA Today MacLean, VA December 11, 2006 http://blogs.usatoday.com/oped/2006/12/post_22.html https://web.archive.org/web/20071021180254/http://blogs.usatoday.com/oped/2006/12/post_22.html October 21, 2007Cochran John 'Do-Nothing Congress' Raises Critics' Ire This Week with George Stephanopoulos This Week (ABC TV series) ABC May 12, 2006 https://abcnews.go.com/Politics/Story?id=1955256&page=1 live https://web.archive.org/web/20240614024555/https://abcnews.go.com/Politics/story?id=1955256&page=1 Jun 14, 2024 As the Congress neared its conclusion, some media commentators labeled this the "Do Nothing Congress",Shepard Scott 109th may be the real 'do nothing' Congress Cox News Service Atlanta, GA December 10, 2006 http://www.newsobserver.com/politics/story/519951.htmlSeptember 2016 medicmedic The Cafferty File: Do-Nothing Congress Jack Cafferty The Situation Room with Wolf Blitzer The Situation Room with Wolf Blitzer CNN December 4, 2006Cafferty Jack December 4, 2006 The Cafferty File: Do-Nothing Congress http://www.cnn.com/CNN/Programs/situation.room/blog/2006/12/cafferty-file-do-nothing-congress.html live https://web.archive.org/web/20220816032558/http://www.cnn.com/CNN/Programs/situation.room/blog/2006/12/cafferty-file-do-nothing-congress.html Aug 16, 2022 Situation Room CNNGoodbye To The Do-Nothing Congress Face The Nation Face The Nation CBS December 10, 2006Klatell James M February 11, 2009 Goodbye To The Do-Nothing Congress https://www.cbsnews.com/news/goodbye-to-the-do-nothing-congress/ live https://web.archive.org/web/20131019154452/http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2006/12/10/opinion/schieffer/main2244096.shtml Oct 19, 2013 CBS NewsDobbs Lou Lou Dobbs Five-weeks off for 'do-nothing Congress' CNN August 2, 2006 http://www.cnn.com/2006/US/08/01/dobbs.August2/index.html November 12, 2006Mann T.
