The 92nd Arabin Congress is the current meeting of the legislative branch of the federal government of Arabi, composed of the Arabin Senate and the Arabin House of Representatives. It convened in the District, on January 5, 2021, during the final two years of Lona Freeman's presidency[1], and will end of January 5, 2023.

The elections of December 2020 decided control of both houses. There were 48 new seats added to the House due to the ratification of the 16th Amendment, which sets a permanent number of seats in the House to 195. The Democratic Party retained their majority in both Chambers.
