Lawyers

Though fewer than one in 200 Americans has a law licence, the profession can lay claim to a third of the current House of Representatives and to more than half the seats in the Senate. For comparison, in both Britain's House of Commons and its Canadian counterpart just one in seven members is a lawyer, and one in 15 deputies in the French Assemblee Nationale. A Lexington's Law suggests itself: just as Britain should limit its cabinet to two old-Etonians, Congress should try to rub along with no more than two dozen Harvard or Yale Law graduates at a time.  (The Economist October 19th-25th 2013 P.38)
