Best Answer

Only capitalize the word federal when you are referring specifically to a federal government, e.g. the Federal Government of the US or of Australia, or when the word is used in the title of a proper noun, e.g. the Federal Bureau of Investigation.

Lowercase "congressional" when used as an adjective; to describe something. Example: The candidate will speak about the rigors of running a congressional campaign.

Capitalize it when used as part of a proper noun or title. Example: The Congressional Record documents and publishes the happenings of the United States Congress.

No, unless the phrase begins a sentence. The word "federal" is no more special than the word "state" or, for that matter, "hamburger" or "shirt." You would only use an initial capital in describing a federal agency's formal name, for example the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation.
