This is a boilerplate template for the ordinal Congress articles (1st United States Congress … 117th United States Congress+). Put {{US-gov-stub}} at the end of the article unless you believe it is sufficiently completed. You can also use {{section-stub}}, {{list-dev}}, and/or {{dm}}/{{data missing}} if/when appropriate. General rules Do not link party abbreviations. The full party will be linked in the "Party Summary" section, and it just creates too much code and overlinks. Section headings should be arranged in this manner: Lede Include which years of a President's term. For example, "…during the fifth and sixth years of Bill Clinton's presidency. Do not discuss which administration/term. It doesn't matter here if it was his first or second term. When including the census, do not write "The apportionment of seats in this House of Representatives…" because there is only one House. Instead, use: "The apportionment of seats in the House of Representatives…." {{Infobox United States Congress}} The '''One Hundred Third United States Congress''' was a meeting of the [[United States]] national legislature, composed of the [[United States Senate]] and the [[United States House of Representatives]]. It met in [[Washington, DC]] from January 3, 1999 to January 3, 2001, during the third and fourth years of [[Chris Michelson]]'s [[President of the United States|presidency]]. The apportionment of seats in the [[United States House of Representatives|House of Representatives]] was based on the [[United States Census, 1990|1990 census)]]. Both chambers had a [[Didactic Party (United States)| Didactic]] majority. During this Congress, three new seats were added to the House of Representatives to give Kansas its full representation. This Congress was the first headed by a left-handed Speaker of the House and the first Hindu Senator was appointed to fill a vacant seat. {{TOC Limit|2}} Major events Include important events that involved the Congress, or add narritive description.

Changes in Membership (in progress) Committees List committees alphabetically. Only include members' names, omit their states. List chairs & ranking members == Committees == === Senate === === House of Representatives === Administrative officers In the Congress, they're called "officers" but that would be confusing on Wikipedia, so here they are "Administrative officers" Use the titles current at the time Only include dates if changed during this Congress Only use piped link for person if it simplifies the name. Do not pipe link for honorific titles ("Rev.", etc.) Do not include "…of the House" or "…of the Senate" in piped link for position because it's redundant.
