∙ 14y agoThe current United State Senate makeup, as of November 18th 2009, is 60 Democrats and 40 Republicans. (Technically, there are 40 Republicans, 58 Democrats, and 2 Independents, however since the Independents caucus with--i.e. join--Democrats, for most practical matters of the U.S. Senate one can assume 60 Democratic seats.)
The 111th Congress began in January, 2009 with 59 Democrats and 41 Republicans, however when Sen. Arlen Specter of Pennsylvania switched from Republican to Democrat in April of 2009, Republicans lost one seat and Democrats gained one, thus making the makeup what it currently is--60 Democrats and 40 Republicans.

How did the US Senate exercise its power in treaty approvals at the end of the nineteenth century?
The "battle" between the US Senate and the US president has always been a part of the US's political system. It remains so today in 2016. However, from 1871 to 1898, the Senate exercised its Constitutional powers in the realm of foreign affairs, perhaps in no before or after that period of time. During that long time period the Senate pursued a policy of rewriting, amending and rejecting treaties. No important treaty was passed on during that period of time.
