Mo Cowan is the eighth Black senator in history, but more significantly, his appointment marks first time in history two Black senators have served at the same time. So is this a "major event"? I think given the unique history of Blacks in America (which we celebrate this month), it is. But I want to get opinions before editing. - Rrius ( talk) 04:27, 19 February 2013 (UTC)
It certainly seems at least as notable as Rand Paul's filibuster, which was not historically outstanding for length (only about half the length of Strom Thurmond's) or really anything else. He wasn't even blocking the nomination so much as trying to get attention for a separate issue. What is that doing in the "major events" listing? 24.127.187.46 ( talk) 21:56, 7 July 2013 (UTC)
All the Congress pages have a major legislation section and the recently passed Violence Against Women Act is one of them isn't it? Shouldn't we start a section for major legislation and include at least that act when it is signed by Obama? Fshoutofdawater ( talk) 11:44, 1 March 2013 (UTC)
Greetings! I'm working with a group of Wikipedians co-organized by User:PeteForsyth and User:JimHarperDC at the Cato Institute on a Legislative Data Workshop project to find out how we can use legislative data to enhance Wikipedia and other Wikimedia projects. We've set up a provisional WikiProject at Wikipedia:WikiProject United States Federal Government Legislative Data ( WP:LEGDATA), and we'd love to get input from any editors interested in the project. Please join us there, and we can help you find a task if you'd like to help! WWB ( talk) 19:13, 15 March 2013 (UTC)

I believe that it is good to remove the two "citation needed" templates from the "Changes to membership" section under WP:CK. It is obvious that there will be special elections and two new and sourced articles have already been made.-- The Theosophist ( talk) 12:48, 27 June 2013 (UTC)
Does anyone happen to know why it's taking so long for Ed Markey to resign from the House and take his oath as a Senator? 71.75.58.74 ( talk) 10:33, 10 July 2013 (UTC)
The Senate party standings and the color for New Jersey under the Changes in membership section need to be changed to reflect current developments. -- Bigpoliticsfan ( talk) 18:52, 31 October 2013 (UTC)
It should now say 8 instead of 7. Rep. Mike Michaud (D - ME 2) just recently came out. 50.136.74.20 ( talk) 14:33, 4 November 2013 (UTC)
When the republicans have the majority it reads: (6-1 Republican) Yet when the democrats have the majority it reads: (5-4 Democratic). Excuse me if I'm wrong here but shouldn't it read (5-4 Democrat)?? Brian Earl Haines ( talk) 18:39, 30 June 2014 (UTC)
