The One Hundred Thirteenth United States Congress is the current meeting of the legislative branch of the United States federal government. It is composed of the United States Senate and the United States House of Representatives based on the results of the 2012 Senate elections and the 2012 House elections. The seats in the House were apportioned based on the 2010 United States Census. It first met in Washington, D.C. on January 3, 2013, and is scheduled to end on January 3, 2015. Senators elected to regular terms in 2008 are in the last two years of those terms during this Congress.

At its outset, this Congress had 43 African American members (all but one in the House of Representatives),^[1] and a record high number of female (100)^[2] and LGBT (8)^[3]^[4] members. Only 19% of its members have active duty military service background, which is down from 80% in 1977.^[5]

Widespread public dissatisfaction with the institution has increased in recent years,^[6]^[7]^[8]^[9] and some commentators have ranked it among the worst in United States congressional history. According to a Gallup Poll released in August 2014, the 113th Congress had the highest disapproval rating of any Congress since 1974, when data first started being collected: 83% of Americans surveyed said that they disapproved of the job Congress was doing, while only 13% said that they approved.^[10]^[11] In October 2013, during the government shutdown, this slipped to ten percent approval according to several polls.
