9. Frodo would look constantly bewildered, every now and then trying to bring up the situation concerning the One Ring.
8. Aragorn would have to be reminded that there is no monarchy in the USA.
7. Sam would brandish his frying pan threateningly if anyone tried to debate anything with Frodo.
6. Boromir would repeatedly rise, crying, “Gondor will see it done!”
5. After many attempts to declare that Gollum had escaped Mirkwood, and that he was most definitely the prettiest, Legolas would get flustered and shoot the Speaker of the House.
4. Congress podiums are not as resilient to Dwarf ax blows as the One Ring.
3. During a heated debate, Gandalf would stand and start bellowing the speech of Mordor.
2. Merry and Pippin would ask many times if a filibuster was a type of ‘shroom’.
1. The Fellowship of the Ring might actually get something done!

Indeed I shall! Next one is "Top 10 Things You Can Do To Seriously Annoy the Fellowship". This is, if you ever find yourself transported to Middle-earth in a Mary Sue-like fashion, you can do these things! (Though I do not claim responsiblity for the awkward silence that may result!) =D

another reason:
an all male Fellowship is politically incorrect
the nazgul would come after congress and stab their beds
legolas and gimli would count how many bills they passed and annoy everyone to death.
some congress members might be mistaken for orcs
butterflies would talk to gandalf and distract him

Gandalf would start whacking old men on the head with his staff if they laugh funny.
pippin would eat all the snacks
merry and pippin would set off fireworks inside the building
hundreds of girls would swarm the building, trying to get legolas autograph
sam would stab people and say "that's for my old gaffer!"
