Democratic President Harry Truman called special sessions of Congress during the 1948 Presidential election year to embarrass the Republicans into completing domestic legislation. This served a two-fold purpose: It forced Congress to pass bills the President supported, and it struck a strategic blow at the opposing party.
Truman's gruff, straightforward, take-no-prisoners style earned him the nickname, "Give 'em Hell Harry." Truman, in turn, nicknamed the 1947-1948 US Senate and House the "Do-Nothing 80th Congress."
President Truman won the 1948 election against Thomas Dewey despite starting the year with a 36% approval rating among voters. The Chicago Tribune was so certain of Truman's defeat that it printed the post-election day newspapers early. The headline read: "Dewey Defeats Truman!"
