The 115th United States Congress was a coming together of the legislative co-operative of the Us of America federal regime, equanimous of the Senate and the House of Representatives. It met in Washington, D.C., from January three, 2017, to Jan 3, 2019, during the final weeks of Barack Obama's presidency and the first ii years of Donald Trump'southward presidency. The seats in the House were apportioned based on the 2010 United states Census.[one]

The Republican Party retained their majorities in both the House and the Senate, and with Donald Trump being sworn in as President on January twenty, 2017, this gave the Republicans an overall federal government trifecta for the first time since the 109th Congress in 2005.

Several political scientists described the legislative accomplishments of this Congress equally modest, considering that both Congress and the presidency were under unified Republican Political party control.[ii] [3] [4] [5] Co-ordinate to a contemporary study, "House and Senate GOP majorities struggled to legislate: GOP fissures and the president ofttimes undermined the Republican calendar. Virtually notably, clashes within and betwixt the 2 parties (for example, on healthcare issues) strained old ways of doing concern."[iii]
