In 2004, a paper published in the Journal of Financial and Quantitative Analysis showed that US senators who traded stocks beat the market by 12 per year. Since even the best hedge fund managers find it hard to achieve comparable results, we must conclude that these senators either are better than hedge fund managers, or that they benefit from privileged information.

At 64, the number of women in the Australian Commonwealth Parliament is the highest it has ever been (27 Senators and 37 in the House of Representatives).

U.S. Rep. Maxine Waters on Saturday denounced allegations that a member of her staff had posted the personal information of three Republican U.S. senators onto the lawmakers' Wikipedia pages.

In the past, a nomination was officially announced before the nominee moved on to the next phase and met with senators to discuss the appointment. Now, as the process has become more fraught, the Obama administration has introduced a still further preliminary stage in which the nominee engages in a sort of do it yourself consultation with senators, after which the administration gauges the reaction and decides whether or not to go through with the nomination.

Only three maverick Republican Senators went along with Obama s proposals to get the plan accepted. And in the House of Representatives, the Republicans unanimously rejected every amendment, every compromise, and every courtesy that he offered.

There was a small increase in women's participation in the National Congress as a result of the 2002 elections 8 female senators (14.8 of the total) and 42 female federal deputies (8.2 of the total).

The Nigerian government s own accountability is on the line as well. It is heartening that several Nigerian senators have recently been in the forefront of efforts to strengthen the rule of law in the oil sector.

Allies of the nominee are recruited and pressed into service. Doubting senators can be subjected to telephone campaigns by the nominee s supporters (often to counter similar campaigns from the nominee s opponents), and even to threats from Senate leaders.

The report of the recent bipartisan investigation, led by US Senators Carl Levin and John McCain, into the infamous London Whale trades provides just one example. There is also the litany of complaints and legal cases now surrounding the firm.

The FBI investigation into accusations against Judge Brett Kavanaugh has delayed a final vote on his nomination to the Supreme Court by at least a week, and raises the question of whether the bureau's findings could sway any Republican senators into pulling their support.

For example, the US Congress has blocked changes to countries quota allocations at the International Monetary Fund. And a group of 47 Republican senators wrote a letter to Iran s leaders announcing that the next Congress may not honor whatever nuclear deal they reach with Obama.

At February s Munich Security Conference, many US senators advocated arming Ukraine an approach that could exacerbate the situation, given Putin s conventional military dominance there.

Whether Democrats or Republicans, United States Senators like officials of our executive branch will be looking to see whether Security Council enlargement is part of a broader package of needed reforms and whether it makes the Council more or less effective in discharging its important duties.

But it is the Fed s current governance that has become dangerous. Senators Elizabeth Warren of Massachusetts and Joe Manchin of West Virginia argue, entirely convincingly, that the composition of the Fed s Board of Governors should be tilted away from people who are connected with big Wall Street firms.

This is highly unlikely to occur, especially in an election year, given that it would require 13 Democratic senators and 48 Democratic representatives to break with US President Barack Obama. Indeed, Netanyahu s effort is succeeding only in turning Israel into an increasingly divisive partisan issue in US politics.

The group of core senators pushing for financial reform is already strong, including Sherrod Brown, Jeff Merkley, Carl Levin, and Jack Reed. And now Elizabeth Warren is working hard with her Senate colleagues Democrat and Republican to bring responsible, well informed pressure to bear on regulators and prosecutors.

Yet, while it is clear that Obama would like to move forward on the issue, so far he has pursued a failed strategy of negotiating with senators and key industries to try to forge an agreement. Yet the special interest groups have dominated the process, and Obama has failed to make any headway.

Worse than that, a number of Republican senators, including such luminaries as John McCain, called for stripping Dzhokhar Tsarnaev, who is a US citizen, of his legal rights and placing him before a military tribunal as an enemy combatant, as though the 19 year old college student were a soldier in a war against America.

LOS ANGELES A strange sense of déjà vu is gripping Washington these days, as the debate over ratification by the United States Senate of the New Strategic Arms Reduction Treaty (New START) with Russia heats up.

Since 2005, the US Congress has repeatedly flirted with legislation aimed at defending hard pressed American workers from the presumed threat of a cheap Chinese currency. Bipartisan support for such a measure surfaced when Senators Charles Schumer (a liberal Democrat from New York) and Lindsey Graham (a conservative Republican from South Carolina) introduced the first Chinese currency bill.

Rather than tinkering, perhaps the EU should boldly create an American style bicameral system by turning the parliament into a House of Representatives and electing a Senate to replace the Council of Ministers, with two senators per member state. But that is probably far too revolutionary for an EU that took 50 years to fashion today s unsatisfactorily hybrid decision making structures.

Last year, at the World Economic Forum in Davos, two US senators, one member of the US House of Representatives, and a deputy national security adviser participated in a forum on the future of American power (I was the chair).
