Jump to: navigation, search

The U.S. Senate Select Committee on Ethics is a select committee of the United States Senate charged with dealing with matters related to senatorial ethics. It is also commonly referred to as the Senate Ethics Committee. Senate rules require the Ethics Committee to be evenly divided between the Democrats and the Republicans, no matter who controls the Senate.

The Committee is currently chaired on an interim basis by Sen. Barbara Boxer (D-California), and the Vice Chairman is Sen. John Cornyn (R-Texas). Upon recovery from his medical condition, Sen. Tim Johnson (D-South Dakota) will assume the chairmanship of the Senate Ethics Committee.[1]
