The site navigation utilizes arrow, enter, escape, and space bar key commands. Left and right arrows move across top level links and expand / close menus in sub levels. Up and Down arrows will open main level menus and toggle through sub tier links. Enter and space open menus and escape closes them as well. Tab will move on to the next part of the site rather than go through menu items.
Thirty-two male Senators have called for Senate leadership to substantially change how the chamber handles sexual harassment claims, possibly setting the stage for a private sector measure. The letter states: "If we fail to act immediately to address this systemic problem in our own workplace, we will lose all credibility in the eyes of the American public regarding our capacity to protect victims of sexual harassment or discrimination in any setting." Combined with a similar bipartisan letter published in March from all of the women serving in the Senate, this means there are now 55 members calling on the leadership to pass legislation that would:
Allow victims to choose his or her own path to resolve a complaint instead of mandating secret mediation and counseling;
Hold members of Congress personally liable for harassment or discrimination claims; and
Prohibit members of Congress from hiding settlements from the public unless the victim seeks privacy.
Earlier this year, the House passed similar legislation.
