Almost half of the 114th Congress has been elected since 2010
From The Washington Post:
You can say a lot of things about the U.S. Congress. One thing you can't really say, though, is that they'v been in Washington way too long.
Come January, nearly half of Congress (48.8 percent) will have been in office for four years or less -- i.e. elected in 2010 or later. That includes 49.7 percent of the House and 45 percent of the Senate -- assuming GOP Rep. Bill Cassidy defeats Democratic Sen. Mary Landrieu in the Louisiana runoff Dec. 6.
