Requested move

All of the others (1st United States Congress through 113th United States Congress) have long since been renamed with the consensus of the Wikipedia community. I suspect that the renamers found these articles hard to move and gave up.—Markles 10:34, 15 June 2006 (UTC)

Election info.

Some Representatives and some Senators came into this Congress in the middle of the Congress, therefore, not every Representative was elected in the November 1886 elections. But I know what you're trying to say here, Stilltim. Hmmm… I don't know how to phrase this part properly. Maybe we should just delete these sentences. Do they really add anything to the article? Then again, they do add some importance. But then we don't need to say that 1/3 of the Senate is elected/appointed each cycle and that 100% of the House is elected each cycle. That's for the article about the United States Congress in general not the Fiftieth United States Congress. Frankly, I just don't know. —Markles 03:14, 1 April 2006 (UTC)

• This is important information, especially as it has changed over the years, and many people do not understand it. We can play with wording and prominience, but it needs to be in there. Stilltim

Fonts for states

The article reads better with the state names in smaller fonts. I'm guessing you want them to show up in the TOC. I actually think that huge TOC list is redundant to the article and is distracting. stilltim 03:50, 1 April 2006 (UTC)

• Well, font size is also controlled by the user's computer, browser, skin, etc. I would mess with them unless I really really had to. Remember the problems we faced last month with the governors' templates ({{MAGovernors}})?
  As for the long TOC list, it's helpful somewhat, but not a big help. I like it and that's why I put it on the right- to get it out of the way of the text.

Most vetos for a session of congress, worthy of inclusion?

This session had more vetos than any other according to wiki List of United States presidential vetoes, by Grover Cleveland. Hard to know why from this page, it'd be nice to have a little section on whether or not this was truly the nadir of congressiono-presential relations. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 204.87.16.4 (talk) 18:56, 13 April 2011 (UTC)

• Ok. If you like it, then add it. WP:Be Bold!—Markles 19:12, 13 April 2011 (UTC)
