The 117th U.s.a. Congress is the electric current meeting of the legislative co-operative of the United states of america federal government, composed of the U.South. Senate and the U.S. Firm of Representatives. It convened in Washington, D.C., on Jan 3, 2021, during the final weeks of Donald Trump's presidency, and will terminate on January 3, 2023.

The 2022 elections decided control of both chambers. In the House of Representatives, the Democratic Party retained their bulk, admitting reduced from the 116th Congress. It is similar in size to the majority held by the Republican Party during the 83rd Congress (1953–1955).

In the Senate, Republicans held the majority at the start. Notwithstanding, on January 20, 2021, three new Autonomous senators (Jon Ossoff and Raphael Warnock of Georgia and Alex Padilla of California) were sworn in, resulting in fifty seats held by Republicans, 48 seats held past Democrats, and ii held past independents who caucus with the Democrats. Effectively, this created a fifty–fifty carve up, which had not occurred since the 107th Congress in 2001. This was only the 3rd time in U.S. history that the Senate has been evenly split, the first being in the 47th Congress (1881–1883).[1]

The new senators were sworn into office past Vice President Kamala Harris just hours subsequently her inauguration. With Harris now serving as the tie breaker in her constitutional function equally President of the Senate, Democrats gained control of the Senate, and thereby total command of Congress for the first time since the 111th Congress concluded in 2011. Additionally, with the inauguration of Joe Biden equally president that aforementioned twenty-four hour period, Democrats assumed control of the executive branch as well, attaining an overall federal authorities trifecta, also for the first time since the 111th Congress.
