==History==
===Howard Stark's Congressional Hearing===
Three days of Congressional hearings were held when inventions of Howard Stark were stolen from his mansion in New York City in 1946. Stark was viewed as a traitor by the American public because his testimony was less than convincing to Senator Webster. Stark did not attend the third day of hearings and became a fugitive, bringing him to the attention of the Strategic Scientific Reserve.Agent Carter: 1.01: Now is Not the End
===False Credits===
Senator Walt Cooper went to the New York Bell Company Office to congratulate Jack Thompson for quelling Johann Fennhoff's Revenge Plot; he told the Strategic Scientific Reserve leader that he could get a Congressional medal for his work. Thompson took the credit though it was Peggy Carter who actually did most of the work.Agent Carter: 1.08: Valediction
===California Senate Race===
In 1947, California Representative Anderson was in a Senate race against the businessman Calvin Chadwick, head of Isodyne Energy.Agent Carter: 2.01: The Lady in the Lake Days later, Anderson was forced by the Council of Nine to allow Chadwick to run unopposed.Agent Carter: 2.03: Better Angels
===Tony Stark's Congressional Hearing===
In 2010, Justin Hammer, James Rhodes, and Tony Stark were in a Congressional hearing as Senator Stern wanted the Iron Man Armors to become the property of the United States Armed Forces. Stark contended that the armors were his and private property; he spoke to the audience watching the hearing, saying that he was a one-man deterrent against war and should be thanked for his effort. Stark then showed film clips that proved that other countries were not advanced enough to duplicate his technology to use as a viable weapon. He displayed footage that Hammer Industries was not as advanced as it claimed, causing Hammer to lose his government contracts. Ivan Vanko watched these events since they were televised.
===HYDRA Uprising===
In 2014, Natasha Romanoff was in a Congressional hearing when Congressman P. Wenham told her that she should be imprisoned for leaking information as she did during the devastating Battle at the Triskelion. Later, the United States Congress interviewed Maria Hill and other agents after the implosion of S.H.I.E.L.D. When Hill was leaving a Senate hearing and discussing her feeling about it to Pepper Potts, Hill described how she would rather deal with the NRO to the annoying Congress.Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.: 1.20: Nothing Personal
===Sokovia Accords===
In May 2016, in an extremely rare act of bipartisanship, the United States Senate voted 98 to 1 approving the passage of the Sokovia Accords, following a 357–66 vote of overwhelming support by the House of Representatives. Senators discussed for hours leading up to the vote, emphasizing the necessity of the Sokovia Accords to prevent a catastrophic event like that in Sokovia from happening in the United States. However, some members of the House of Representatives worried about the overarching powers granted by the Sokovia Accords and whether the wording could pose a direct and dangerous infringement on civil liberties.Content inside newspaper shown in episode Emancipation
