Summary[edit]
| Description | Unofficial seal of the United States Congress. The Congress as a whole does not have an official seal (rather, the Senate and House have their own seals)[1], but this is still a commonly seen symbol. |
| Source | Extracted from PDF version of Jim Gerlach's 2007 End of Year Report (direct PDF URL [2]). |
| Author | U.S. Government |
| Permission (Reusing this file) |
Public domain from a copyright standpoint, but other restrictions may apply. 18 U.S.C. §713 protects the Seal of the United States Congress, but as this is an unofficial seal, it is unclear whether it is protected or not. Other federal regulations probably do provide trademark-like protection. |
