This report, released by the AEI-Brookings Continuity of Government Commission, recommends Congress adopt a constitutional amendment to ensure that the House of Representatives and Senate could reconstitute quickly in the aftermath of a terrorist attack.  The Continuity of Government Commission spent a year examining if and how the institution of Congress could survive after a catastrophic attack.  Later reports will deal with the continuity of the executive branch and the courts.
