The article presents information about various political developments taking place in the U.S. According to snippet, the U.S. Congress passed economic sanctions against South Africa in 1986.

According to another snippet, as recently as last year the chances of Congress adopting gun control legislation ranged from unlikely to farfetched things have changed.
