112th United States Congress
Encyclopedia
The One Hundred Twelfth United States Congress is the current meeting of the legislative branch of the United States
federal government, composed of the United States Senate
and the United States House of Representatives
. It convened in Washington, D.C.
on January 3, 2011, and will end on January 3, 2013, close to the end of the presidential term
to which Barack Obama
was elected in 2008. Senators elected to regular terms in 2006 will complete those terms in this Congress. This Congress includes the last House of Representatives elected from congressional districts that were apportioned based on the 2000 census.
In the 2010 midterm elections
, the Republican Party
won the majority in the House of Representatives. While the Democrats
kept their Senate majority, it was reduced from the previous Congress. This is the first Congress in which the House and Senate are controlled by different parties since the 107th Congress of 2001–2003
, and the first Congress to begin that way since the 99th Congress of 1985–1987
. In this Congress, the House of Representatives has the largest number of Republican
members, 242, since the 80th Congress
(1947–1949).
nearly led to a shutdown of non-essential government services
on April 9, 2011, with the furlough of 800,000 government employees appearing imminent. President Obama met Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid and House Speaker John Boehner in the days preceding the deadline but was unable to come to an agreement to pass a budget. A one-week budget was proposed to avoid a government shutdown and allow more time for negotiations; however, proposals from both parties could not be accommodated. Obama said he would veto a proposed Republican budget over Republican social spending cuts. This was also backed by Senate Democrats who objected to such cuts as that of Planned Parenthood
. However, an agreement was reached between the two parties for a one-week budget to allow for more time to negotiate after Republicans dropped their stance on the Planned Parenthood issue. The two parties ultimately agreed on a 2011 federal budget the following week.
There were many reactions to the possible shutdown with some saying the economy could be hurt during a fragile recovery and others saying the lack of an unnecessary bureaucracy would not be noticed. There was also criticism that while senators and representatives would continue to get paid others such as the police and military personnel would either not be paid for their work or have their payments deferred.
was projected to reach its statutory maximum. Without an increase in that limit the U.S. Treasury would be unable to borrow money to pay its bills. Although previous statutory increases have been routine, conservative members of the House refused to allow an increase without drastically reducing government spending. Over several weeks and months, negotiators from both parties, both houses, and the White House worked to forge a compromise. The House passed the compromise bill, the Budget Control Act of 2011
, on August 1, 2011 and the Senate passed it on August 2.
