In 1994, the Republican Party won control of the House of
Representatives for the first time since 1954 and the Senate for
the first time since 1986, bringing to an end the longest
uninterrupted period of single party rule in the entire history of
the United States Congress. In this text, scholars from Britain and
the United States document these developments and evaluate their
significance. They aim to answer the following questions: what
political messages did the 1994 election results carry?; how
significant were the institutional changes introduced?; how
distinctive was Newt Gingrich's style and strategy?; how
conservative was the legislation enacted by the 104th Congress?;
how in the course of a single Congress was President Bill Clinton
able to evolve from political irrelevant to major policy player?;
how were despondent congressional Democrats able to recover to play
an important role in shaping legislative outcomes?; are there many
similarities with the Republican Congress which faced President
Harry Truman in the 1940s?; and what is the significance of the
104th Congress for the future development of this complex
institution and the governing of America.
