I was looking on the internet for something the last Congress accomplished, since I couldn't think of anything...Below is the legacy Wikpedia gives :roll: Can anyone think of anything they did do :???:
-------------------------------------------

Legacy
The 109th worked the fewest days of any Congress in the 20th century, even working fewer days than the famed "Do Nothing" Congress of the late 1940's.

The Republican-controlled 109th Congress has been branded by congressional scholars as a "Do-Nothing" Congress. The American media used the term to describe the Congress.


Among the 109th's most criticized moments were the filibuster "nuclear option" scare, which mobilized Democratic supporters against the Republican majority, and the Terri Schiavo debate, which angered many constituents.

The 109th Congress also had a great many scandals: Tom DeLay, Bob Ney, Randy "Duke" Cunningham, Mark Foley, and the Jack Abramoff scandal. Lobbying in Congress has since become a topic of debate and discussion because of the scandals in the 109th Congress
