Question: is the term "act of Congress" US-specific, or is it used in regards to other countries whose legislative bodies are called "Congress"es? --Brion
Per AP Stylebook, "act" should only be capitalized when used as part of the name of a specific piece of legislation. Otherwise, it's not a proper noun, so shouldn't be capitalized.
Should the article mention how the phrase "an Act of Congress" can mean that it takes a lot of work to allow something to happen? Jason McHuff 04:25, 1 April 2007 (UTC)
