Congress Overview

The 115th Congress (2017–2019) featured unified Republican control of the federal government with GOP majorities in the House and Senate, and Republican President Donald J. Trump in the White House. During the 115th Congress, 443 measures became law. In May 2017, the House approved legislation to “repeal and replace” the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, but the bill failed in the Senate. In late 2017, Congress passed the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, lowering income tax rates and overhauling other parts of America’s revenue code. Congress also passed legislation modernizing copyright laws for the music industry, approved bipartisan legislation funding efforts to combat opioid addiction, and reformed the criminal justice system with the First Step Act. Because of a dispute between the White House and Congress over funding for a wall along America’s border with Mexico, the 115th Congress closed amid a lapse in appropriations for several federal agencies, leading to a partial shutdown of the government that lasted into 2019.
