Some basic facts about the 114th Congress

Before I post too many items related to Congress, here are links to basic info about the current Congress. It is called the 114th because it is the 114th Congress elected since the ratification of the Constitution.

Of course there's a Wikipedia page devoted to it.

- Click here to get to it.

If you scroll to the bottom of the page you'll see links to separate pages of all the Congresses dating back to the first which met from 1789 to 1791. Here's more, we'll discuss basic facts about it in class.

- Ballotpedia: 114th Congress.
- Congressional Research Service: Membership of the 114th Congress: A Profile.

And for the institutions themselves:

- U.S. House.
- U.S. Senate.
