Usage Note

Congressuale is an adjective derived from congresso (congress, conference) and means 'of or relating to a congress or party conference.' In Italian political usage it often refers to internal party conferences rather than a national legislature: la mozione congressuale (the conference motion). Do not assume it means 'relating to the US Congress' — context determines the referent.

Examples

"La mozione congressuale è stata approvata a larga maggioranza."

Natural Translation

The congressional motion was approved by a large majority.
