On January 6, 2021, mobs, instigated by then-President Trump, attacked Congress, setting an ominous precedent in American politics. Since the end of the Civil War, there has never been a situation in the United States where power cannot be transferred peacefully, and no president has deliberately challenged the election results even though there is sufficient evidence to show that the election was free and fair.The

Answer:

The attack on the United States Capitol on January 6, 2021, was an assault on Congress, our democracy, and the rule of law. The insurgency was designed to hinder the peaceful transition of power to then-President-elect Biden and Vice President-elect Harris, who had been duly elected by the American people.

What exactly is intended by the American Congress?

The US Congress is the national legislature of the United States. It is bicameral, with the House of Representatives as the lower house and the Senate as the upper chamber. It has its sessions in Washington, D.C., at the United States Capitol. Senators and representatives are directly elected, however, vacancies in the Senate may be filled by a governor's appointment. Currently, Congress meets every other January for a two-year term. Every even-numbered year, elections are held on Election Day. Congress members are elected to the House of Commons for a two-year term.
