Lame-duck Congress to reconvene
Edited on Mon Nov-13-06 10:04 AM by FLDem5

WASHINGTON (AP) -- Congress returns this week with triumphant Democrats and vanquished Republicans focusing more on the upcoming change in power than on President Bush's wish list for the final few months of GOP rule.

The main order of House business planned for Monday was consideration of a free-trade bill with Vietnam, ahead of Bush's scheduled visit there Friday. Also planned are orientation meetings for more than 50 incoming House freshmen.

The real action, however, will be off the floor as the speaker-to-be, Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., prepares to take the reins of the House and Harry Reid, D-Nev., does the same in the Senate.

Dems need to measure for some new curtains.

Foley's old office will have to be fumigated.
