What is the relationship between the U.S. Senate and its Judiciary Committee?

 

In 2009, the two senators from Minnesota, Amy Klobucher and Al Franken were both members of the U.S. Senate’s Judiciary Committee, but Minnesota’s 7th Congressional District representative, Collin Peterson, could not be a member of that committee.

 

        In order to be a member of the Judiciary Committee a person must first be a member of the U.S. Senate. This is an example of a collection of objects chosen from another collection. This leads to the concept of a subset.
