Les élus du 113e Congrès prêtaient serment hier. On ne sait pas encore s'ils seront plus efficaces que leurs collègues du 112e, mais la composition de ce Congrès est plus originale.

 "As the 113th Congress opens, the Senate and the House are starting to look a little bit more like the people they represent.

 The new Congress includes a record number of women (101 across both chambers, counting three nonvoting members), as well as various firsts for the numbers of Latinos and Asians as well as Iraq and Afghanistan war veterans. But it was the rise of the female legislator — 20 in the Senate and 81 in the House — that had the Capitol thrumming with excited potential on Thursday.
