History

Throughout the history of the United States Congress there have been times when members of either chamber have refused to seat new members. Article I, Section 5 of the United States Constitution states that, "Each House shall be the judge of the elections, returns and qualifications of its own members, and a majority of each shall constitute a quorum to do business; but a smaller number may adjourn from day to day, and may be authorized to compel the attendance of absent members, in such manner, and under such penalties as each House may provide." This means that members of the House of Representatives and of the Senate can refuse to recognize the election or appointment of a new representative or senator. They can bar the individual outright or refer the matter to a committee for inquiry. Powell v. McCormack (1969) clarified the issue of the scope of powers of the Congress to refuse to seat an elected member. The Federal Contested Elections Act of 1969 currently lays out the procedures by which each House determines contested elections.

Harrizon [31]
<span>From 1774 to 1789, the Continental Congress served as the government of the 13 American colonies and later the United States. The First Continental Congress, which was comprised of delegates from the colonies, met in 1774 in reaction to the Coercive Acts, a series of measures imposed by the British government on the colonies in response to their resistance to new taxes. In 1775, the Second Continental Congress convened after the American Revolutionary War (1775-83) had already begun. In 1776, it took the momentous step of declaring America’s independence from Britain. Five years later, the Congress ratified the first national constitution, the Articles of Confederation, under which the country would be governed until 1789, when it was replaced by the current U.S. Constitution.</span>

With the surrender of both Germany and Japan in 1945, military contracts were terminated and soldiers returned home to compete with civilians for work. As government spending depleted, the economy fell into a deep recession and GDP shrank by a whopping 11 percent.

The private sector was booming when the government stopped buying ammunition and hiring soldiers. The factory that used to make bombs made toasters, and toaster sales surged. On paper, measured GDP declined after the war. In 1947 it was 13% lower than in 1944.

Gross National Product (GNP), which measures all goods and services produced, surged from just $ 200 billion in 1940 to $ 300 billion in 1950.
