The 112th Us Congress was a coming together of the legislative branch of the U.s.a. federal regime, from January 3, 2011, until Jan 3, 2013. It convened in Washington, D.C. on January 3, 2011, and ended on January iii, 2013, 17 days earlier the cease of the presidential term to which Barack Obama was elected in 2008. Senators elected to regular terms in 2006 completed those terms in this Congress. This Congress included the terminal House of Representatives elected from congressional districts that were apportioned based on the 2000 census.[ane] [2]

In the 2010 midterm elections, the Republican Party won the majority in the Firm of Representatives. While the Democrats kept their Senate bulk, information technology was reduced from the previous Congress.[3]

This was the kickoff Congress in which the Business firm and Senate were controlled by dissimilar parties since the 107th Congress (2001–2003), and the offset Congress to brainstorm that way since the 99th Congress (1985–1987).[ citation needed ] Information technology was also the commencement Congress since the 36th Congress, over 150 years, in which the Republican Party held the House just not the Senate.

Every bit of 2021, this is the nearly recent Congress in which Democrats held a Senate seat in Nebraska or a Business firm seat in Arkansas, the terminal in which Republicans held both Senate seats in Maine, and the terminal in which Democrats did not hold all seats in Connecticut.

Potential government shutdown [edit]

A failure to pass a 2011 federal budget nigh led to a shutdown of non-essential authorities services on April 9, 2011, with the furlough of 800,000 regime employees appearing imminent.[9] President Obama met Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid and House Speaker John Boehner in the days preceding the deadline only was unable to come to an understanding to laissez passer a upkeep.[ citation needed ] A one-week upkeep was proposed to avert a government shutdown and allow more time for negotiations; however, proposals from both parties could not be accommodated.[ citation needed ] Obama said he would veto a proposed Republican upkeep over Republican social spending cuts.[ citation needed ] This was also backed past Senate Democrats who objected to such cuts every bit that of Planned Parenthood.[ten] [eleven] [12] Even so, an agreement was reached between the ii parties for a one-week budget to allow for more than fourth dimension to negotiate after Republicans dropped their stance on the Planned Parenthood issue.[11] The two parties ultimately agreed on a 2011 federal budget the following week.[ citation needed ]

There were many reactions to the possible shutdown with some saying the economy could be hurt during a frail recovery[thirteen] and others maxim the lack of an unnecessary bureaucracy would not be noticed.[xiv] There was also criticism that while senators and representatives would continue to get paid others such as the police and armed services personnel would either not exist paid for their work or have their payments deferred.[15]

Debt limit crisis [edit]

On August 2, 2011, the United States public debt was projected to reach its statutory maximum. Without an increase in that limit the U.S. Treasury would exist unable to borrow money to pay its bills.

Over several weeks and months, negotiators from both parties, both houses, and the White House worked to forge a compromise. The compromise pecker, the Budget Control Human action of 2011, was enacted on Baronial 2.
