What it claims

Claims

  1. 1TrueThe United States House of Representatives was established in 1789.Multiple primary and tier1 sources state the House was created or first convened in 1789 (House.gov: 'In 1789, the House assembled for the first time'; House History Timeline: 'Since its creation in 1789'; Archives.gov: first met March 4, 1789; AP: House and Senate first convened in 1789). The claim's wording 'established in 1789' is slightly loose since the Constitution established the House in 1787, but the post's framing of 1789 as the House's founding year is supported and the core date is not contradicted.4 sources →
