The 107th Congress convened yesterday. Among those sworn in was Hillary Rodham Clinton. The new Democratic senator from New York becomes the first lady to hold elected public office. Shortly before Congress convened, Gore delivered a pointed message to the Congressional Black Caucus. He said, “We must all respect and, wherever possible, help President-elect Bush. You have to do your best to reach across party lines, but you must also have to know when to draw the line.”
