disambig

Considering that this page talks about a number of different things, perhaps this should be rewritten as a disambiguation page, and a main article about the political ones.DGG 04:09, 11 October 2006

Cost of buying congress

Has anyone put together a cost analysis for buying votes in congress? How much does it cost? Is it dependent on how controversial the vote is? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 206.109.195.126 (talk) 22:57, 14 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Huh?

Can someone please explain what this means: "A congress is different from a president (Westminster System of Government) in that legislative initiative is vested into it."

I also note that Congressional system is a Redirect to Presidential system: should it be? --Mais oui! 08:41, 13 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Diagrams

The article on Parliament added a map of the world highlighting countries that have a parliament. Something similar for Congress would be good. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 63.87.213.98 (talk) 20:53, 29 December 2006 (UTC).[reply]

Bipartisan Congress

I've noticed there isn't anything here about bipartisan congresses which are common in presidential systems. --Trrri333 (talk) 23:42, 30 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Does congress people make one law? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.138.203.97 (talk) 01:33, 4 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Parliamentary Systems

When a national legislature is referred to as a "Congress" does that necessarily refer to a presidential system? In other words, is the term "Congress" necessarily distinct from the term "Parliament"? If so, it should be the first thing mentioned in this article. If not, this article should be deleted and replaced with a disambiguation page. The generic term would then be "legislature" not "Congress." Bostoner (talk) 03:28, 21 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Future/scope of this article

I have reverted the bold removal of virtually all the content. Such established articles merit discussion first. Please offer arguments in this section. The article is, admittedly, a mess and something does need to be done. My preferred action would be a move to List of congresses with a definition of scope and the consequential significant editing. An alternative would be to cut down into List of political congresses, for example, if having all congresses together is considered too broad in scope.

baboons

Isn't this also a older name for the social gathering of baboons? --41.151.210.218 (talk) 18:41, 2 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
