Major events

A rare even split in the United States Senate and the defection of a single Senator led to three changes in majorities. Major security events occurred. The September 11 attacks were highly disruptive. Some Senators were targeted by anthrax attacks. The Congress voted to allow the President to invade Iraq.

January 3, 2001: Senate was evenly split (50-50) between the two parties. Democrat Al Gore - who was still Vice President - gave the Democrats the tie-breaker and majority control for the 17 days between the January 3 swearing-in of the new Congress and the January 20 inauguration of Republican Vice President Dick Cheney. Hillary Rodham Clinton, wife of President Bill Clinton, became the first presidential spouse to serve in Congress.
January 20, 2001: Dick Cheney were sworn-in as President of the United States and Vice President of the United States respectively, giving the Republicans the tie-breaker and majority control. Trent Lott becomes Senate Majority Leader.
June 6, 2001: Senator Jim Jeffords, previously a Republican, declared himself an independent and announced he would join the Democratic caucus, giving the Democrats majority control. Democrat Tom Daschle became Senate Majority Leader.
September 11, 2001: September 11 attacks
September 20, 2001: George W. Bush reported to a joint session of Congress on the investigation into the September 11 attacks and officially announces the War on Terrorism
October 7, 2001: Operation Enduring Freedom began
October 9, 2001: Anthrax attacks were executed against members of the Senate, including Senate Majority Leader Tom Daschle.
December 2001: Corporate financial scandals, including Enron and MCI
June 12, 2002: Prime Minister of Australia John Howard addressed a joint session of Congress. The address was originally scheduled for September 12, 2001, but was interrupted by the September 11 attacks. Already in Washington at the time, he sat in on Congressional sessions on September 12 instead.

^ ^a ^b When the Congress began, the Senate was divided 50-50. Because the Vice President's tie-breaking vote would change control from Democrats to Republicans on January 20, the Senate elected Byrd to serve until noon and Thurmond to serve from noon on January 20. Control changed again from June 6, 2001, when Jim Jeffords left the Republican Party and Byrd was once again elected President pro tempore. For details, see party summary > Senate, on this page.
