Caitlyn Jenner sneglar mot politiken

Förenta staternas senat (engelska: United States Senate) brukar räknas som överhuset i USA:s federala folkrepresentation, Kongressen (underhuset är då Representanthuset). Senatens exklusiva befogenheter inkluderar bland annat att godkänna avtal och fördrag regeringen ingått med andra länder, godkänna tillsättandet av höga ämbeten samt att döma i riksrättmål. Genom en kompromiss i arbetet med USA:s konstitution blev senaten ett organ i första hand för delstaterna, vilket medför att folkrika delstater inte har fler senatorer än de mindre folkrika. Eftersom varje delstat har två senatorer och USA sedan 1959 har 50 delstater finns det 100 platser i den federala senaten. USA:s vicepresident är senatens president och har utslagsrösten om en omröstning i senaten skulle utfalla med lika röstetal; om vederbörande ej är närvarande vid en sådan omröstning faller förslaget.

Caitlyn Marie Jenner (born October 28, 1949), formerly known as Bruce Jenner, is an American television personality and retired Olympic gold medal-winning decathlete. Jenner was a college football player for the Graceland Yellowjackets before incurring a knee injury that required surgery. Coach L. D. Weldon, who had coached Olympic decathlete Jack Parker, convinced Jenner to try the decathlon. After intense training, Jenner won the 1976 Olympics decathlon event at the Montreal Olympic Games, gaining fame as "an all-American hero". Jenner set a third successive world record while winning the Olympics. The winner of the Olympic decathlon is traditionally given the unofficial title of "world's greatest athlete". With that stature, Jenner subsequently established a career in television, film, writing, auto racing, business and as a Playgirl cover model. Jenner has six children from marriages to wives Chrystie Crownover, Linda Thompson, and Kris Jenner. Since 2007, Jenner has appeared on the reality television series Keeping Up with the Kardashians with Kris, their daughters Kendall and Kylie Jenner, and step-children Kourtney, Kim, Khloé, and Rob Kardashian. Previously identifying publicly as male, Jenner revealed her identity as a trans woman in April 2015, publicly announcing her name change from Bruce to Caitlyn in a July 2015 Vanity Fair cover story. Her name and gender change became official on September 25, 2015. She has been called the most famous openly transgender woman in the world. From 2015 to 2016, Jenner starred in the reality television series I Am Cait, which focused on her gender transition.
