Trent Lott, Minority Leader.

The article focuses on U.S. Senate Minority Leader Trent Lott. Lott remained an ally of the insurgents when he came to the Senate. After Republicans took the Senate in 1994 and Bob Dole became majority leader, Lott challenged Dole's pick, Alan Simpson, for the number-two slot. Lott won by one vote. In 1996, Dole left the Senate to run for president, and Lott won the contest to replace him as majority leader. Lott helped former U.S. President Bill Clinton in passing Chemical Weapons Convention, one of those agreements that assumed that peace was secured by paper promises from dictators.
