The 110th Congress was sworn in on January 4, 2007. After they were elected into the majority in November of 2006, this is the date where they took control of the House of Representatives and the Senate. I should clarify, once the Dems took control of the House, there was no talk at all that they weren't in control.
Speaker Pelosi has always had strong control of the House. In the Senate, it's far more difficult. The Dems took a 51-49 lead, and although that looks like a majority, the GOP effectively filibustered all important bills that came to the Senate floor, forcing the Dems to get 60 votes to pass any legislation.So although the Dems were in the majority, they didn't exactly have "control.
" This year, however, with (soon to be) 59 seats to the GOP's 41, the dems will have far more control in the Senate.
FDR and the Democrats win the election by a landslide. Democrats take control of both houses of Congress. November 8,1932 Democrats Take Back the House November 7, 2006.
I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
