National Archives and Records Administration, Treasures of Congress — The First Federal Congress (2000)

“ It is arguably the most important Congress in U.S. history. To this new legislature fell the responsibility of passing all the legislation needed to implement the new system, solving the difficult political questions left by the Constitutional Convention, setting up the rules and procedures of the House and Senate, and establishing the roles of its officers such as Speaker of the House and President of the Senate. ”

National Archives and Records Administration, Treasures of Congress — Creating a Legislature (2000)

“ For the leaders of the American Revolution, legislatures were the most important part of any government. It was through legislatures that the people made their will known. When the Federal Convention met in Philadelphia in 1787 to amend the Articles of Confederation, most of the delegates agreed that the legislature should have two houses with greatly expanded powers. There was disagreement, however, over the type of representation. Heavily populated states supported James Madison's efforts to base representation on population alone. ”

National Archives and Records Administration, Treasures of Congress — The First Federal Congress (2000)

“ Serving in Congress in the 18th century was a distinct honor, but also a hardship. Traveling between home states and New York City or Philadelphia, where Congress met between 1785 and 1800, could be arduous. Living in these cities, while stimulating, was expensive and congressmen received pay of only $6 a day. It also meant several months of each year living away from livelihood and usually from family. During the 1790s, one-third of the members of the Senate resigned while in office. ”

National Archives and Records Administration, RIP, or rather, Live Long and Prosper… (2015)

“ RIP, or rather, Live Long and Prosper, Leonard Nimoy
(March 26, 1931 - February 27, 2015)
It is with some sadness we note the passing of actor Leonard Nimoy, best known for his iconic role as Spock in the 1960s television series Star Trek.
The influence of Star Trek and its characters such as Mr. Spock on American culture would become so great that it reached even the desk of the President of the United States. In 1976, President Ford approved of the proposal to name the new Space Shuttle “Enterprise," after Star Trek's eponymous starship, due in large part to popular demand. ”

“ In the spring of 1939, as Germany, Japan, and Italy pursued militaristic policies, President Roosevelt wanted more flexibility to meet the Fascist challenge. FDR suggested amending the act to allow warring nations to purchase munitions if they paid cash and transported the goods on non-American ships, a policy that favored Britain and France. ”
