Year of Congress sees war on terror and tax cut
A year in which the 107th Congress controlled by neither party produced a 1.35 trillion dollar tax cut and a major education bill while uniting after the September 11 attacks. It saw shifts in power after Sen. James Jeffords left the GOP, allowing Democrats to set the agenda with Vice President Cheney unable to break ties. The period featured tense blame between parties, stalled priorities like campaign finance reform and minimum wage increases, and notable anti-terrorism and security legislation along with continued debates over farm, trade, and high tech export policies.
