Congressional Timeline: How does the 111th or how will the 112th stack up?

The Dirksen Congressional Center has put together a Congressional Timeline that tracks historic legislation from the 73rd Congress (1933-35) to the now lame-duck 111th.

How will the new 112th stack up? With possible divided government will there be more gridlock, or needed compromise?

The timeline features session dates, partisan composition, the presidential administration, a list of congressional leaders, and notable legislation passed.

This first version only addresses legislative output, not non-legislative events such as the impeachment of President Clinton or internal congressional processes or congressional politics. We plan to leave room for expansion to include such elements as a timeline of notable, non-congressional events and selections from our historical collections.
