| Description | WASHINGTON -- On the eve of being sworn into Congress, Republican Vern Buchanan still couldn't let down his guard.
Although Democrats have agreed to seat him in Congress today, despite the ongoing challenge to his 369-vote victory on Nov. 7, Buchanan was still tempering his enthusiasm for his new post. Sitting among the barren walls of his new congressional office near the U.S. Capitol, Buchanan said he couldn't rest until a ceremony today in which he will be given an official congressional lapel pin that will give him access only members of Congress have on Capitol Hill.
"When I get my pin, then I'll know I'm in," Buchanan said.
Today, all 435 members of Congress will be sworn in for a new session in Congress beginning at noon. It marks the official first day of Congress, and the first day of a new career for Buchanan.
