The formation era (2007-2010)
The first Congress began with all 110 members (all of whom are the Administration). Throughout most of the time, many congressmans are powerless to the President due to the power limits in the Consitution. Not much information about this era was found due to it hasn't been archived and forgotten by history.
The near dissolution era (2010-2016)
After the 2010 Presidential election (or the six-year Government referedum election), Congress was practically a empty shell of unqualified politician who lived on a very low salary provided by the Department of Treasury. Congress attempted to be dissolved or disbanded, but the Supreme Court ruled out that they can't be disbanded sue to the limits by the Constitution.
