80th United States Congress
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
|
The Eightieth United States Congress was a meeting of the legislative branch of the United States federal government, comprised of the United States Senate and the United States House of Representatives. It met in Washington, DC from January 3, 1947 to January 3, 1949, during the last two years of the first administration of U.S. President Harry S. Truman.
The apportionment of seats in this House of Representatives was based on the Sixteenth Census of the United States in 1940. Both chambers had a Republican majority.

The 80th Congress was nicknamed the "Do Nothing Congress" by President Harry Truman. The Congress opposed many of the bills passed during the Franklin Roosevelt administration. They also opposed most of Truman's Fair Deal bills. Yet they passed many pro-business bills. During the 1948 election Truman campaigned as much against the "Do Nothing Congress" as against his formal opponent, Thomas Dewey.
President Harry Truman called Congress into extraordinary session twice, from November 17 to December 19, 1947 and from July 26 to August 7, 1948. In both cases, Congress had completed its business for the year but had not adjourned sine die, and so the extraordinary sessions are considered extensions of the regular sessions.
