United States Congress
From Memory Alpha, the free Star Trek reference.
The United States Congress was a branch of the United States government. Sanctioned by the United States Constitution, this body was responsible for the authorization of spending bills, among other things.
In 1941, President Franklin Roosevelt pressured Congress for the authorization of funds for aid to the British in its war with Adolf Hitler. (TNG: "The Big Goodbye")
In December 2000, Congress and the White House joined forces to seek budget deficit cuts. (VOY: "11:59")
- Article I of the United States Constitution, which establishes the US Congress, can be clearly, if briefly, seen in TOS: "The Omega Glory".
