senate

The small number of reps plus the huge variation in state sizes means that it's not particularly close even before considering the distortions from Senate seats.

Five weeks later, on February 12, the Senate voted on whether to remove Clinton from office.

There is a House bill and a Senate bill (currently under review for amendments), and he hasn't endorsed either yet.

For example, people beat each other on the floor of the senate chamber over slavery.

The Democrats had a filibuster-proof majority in the Senate -- for four months.

Treaty ratifications require Senate approval, which will not be forthcoming anytime soon.

I was listening to the Senate hearing on Wednesday where they were asking the FBI director questions about this issue.

The members are appointed by the Senate and have security clearance.

He also happens to know a thing or two about security, and frequently testifies to the US government such as the Senate on cybersecurity related matters.

That work and earlier work (including that shown in the 2014 Black Hat presentation by the researchers in the present article) drew interest of the Senate [2].

The incredible amount of gerrymandering done to rig the house of representatives is incredible, and the Senate is already inherently biased because its giving every voter in Wyoming 67 times the influence of a voter of California.

One of the panelists from last Wednesday's senate hearing Peter Swire (Huang Professor of Law and Ethics, GT) puts forward the case that we're in actually in a Golden Age of Surveillance.

Even still, the bill only passed because it was tacked on to unrelated "must-pass" legislation at the last minute in the Senate.

Rejecting the first charge of perjury, 45 Democrats and 10 Republicans voted “not guilty,” and on the charge of obstruction of justice the Senate was split 50-50.

If you think it's racist then you must have skipped the history lesson on The New Deal whereby, in an effort to secure the votes necessary, they (House/Senate) basically had to promise key members that the recovery would touch the "right" people.

In 1997 Ohio (the state where I'm currently residing) passed Senate Bill 2, which largely eliminated the parole board, and introduced something called "Flat Time." In the past, the judges had a bit of leeway (based on the statue) that they could set as a minimum time, and then the parole board would release you, on parole, for a period of one or two years, based on your institutional behavior.

It's one thing to have to get by the budget committee, the whole Senate, and the governor.

And one of those Governors is appointed (again, by the Prez, and confirmed by the Senate) to be Chairman.

All of them are appointed by the President and confirmed by the Senate.
