That same constitution gave the President Authority over the Nations Armed forces. The president asked congress for authorisation to use military force in the middle east.

Before cspan started covering the sessions, this was where the major hearings were televised going back to news reels covering it in the 1920s and 30s. Television came after long in the 1940s. This is where viewers would have seen the crime investigation, army mcarthur hearings, water gate hear agos. This was the most famous televised room until the chamber was open to television. I bring people in here from time to time. You can hear the echoes. You can hear the gavel of the chairma chairman. The story of congress is the story of the nation. Thats a story of growth. The capital started as a very small sand stone square box. It sort of grew as states entered the union and more senators and representatives came. In the 1850s so many entered they had to put on two wings for Current Senate and house chambers. By the 70s they were crowded and couldnt find space for senators to work.
