“Cloture Motion (Executive Session)” mentioning Bernard Sanders was published in the Senate section on page S4877 on July 14.
Of the 100 senators in 117th Congress, 24 percent were women, and 76 percent were men, according to the Biographical Directory of the United States Congress.
Senators' salaries are historically higher than the median US income.
