In Washington, the new Class of 2007 will be sworn in at the Capitol, and for the first time in more than a decade the Democrats will be in control of both houses of Congress.

It is a major shift in power on Capitol Hill that could now challenge the authority of the White House.

As the 110th Congress prepared to take the oath of office, President George W Bush made an appeal for congressional unity.

"We've all been entrusted with public office at a momentous time in our nation's history and together we have important things to do," President Bush said from the Rose Garden on Wednesday morning.

"It is time to set aside politics and focus on the future," he added.
