Congress fulfilled Gingrich's Contract promise (which laid out ten policies that Republicans promised to bring to a vote on the House Floor during the first hundred days of the new Congress) to bring all ten of the Contract's issues to a vote within the first 100 days of the session, even though most legislation was initially held up in the Senate. Over the objection of liberal/progressive interest groups and President Clinton, who called it the 'Contract on America', many aspects of the proposal were implemented in subsequent legislation.
