Question: When did the party that controls the House of Representatives take control of the branch that gives regulators discretion to prohibit proprietary trades?

The 2014 elections gave the Republicans control of the Senate (and control of both houses of Congress) for the first time since the 109th Congress. The One Hundred Fourteenth United States Congress was a meeting of the legislative branch of the United States federal government, composed of the United States Senate and the United States House of Representatives. It met in Washington, D.C. from January 3, 2015, to January 3, 2017, during the final two full years of Barack Obama's presidency. With 248 seats in the House of Representatives and 54 seats in the Senate, this Congress began with the largest Republican majority since the 71st Congress of 1929 -- 1931. <SEP> the bill was first read at nigeria's house of representatives and was passed with votes of (86 - 10) in senate on july 26, 2017 and 261 - 23 in house of representatives on july 27, 2017. the bill passed first and second reading in nigeria's parliament and was presented to committee on constitutional review. for any constitutional amendments to become a law in nigeria, the amendments needed to be presented to all the house of assemblies of 36 states of federation and not less than 24 states are expected to vote yes to the amendments. it was reported by 33 house of assemblies in nigeria voted yes, except zamfara, lagos and kano. the bill was rejected by taraba state of assembly initially, but, was reversed after the group made a press release inaugurating the taraba house of assembly into the hall of shame. on february 16, 2018, the conveners gave the nigeria parliaments and their president 30days ultimatum to conclude the processes of passage and signing of the bill into law. <SEP> as of december 2014, the annual salary of each representative is $174,000. the speaker of the house and the majority and minority leaders earn more: $223,500 for the speaker and $193,400 for their party leaders (the same as senate leaders). a cost - of - living - adjustment (cola) increase takes effect annually unless congress votes to not accept it. congress sets members' salaries; however, the twenty - seventh amendment to the united states constitution prohibits a change in salary (but not cola) from taking effect until after the next election of the whole house. representatives are eligible for retirement benefits after serving for five years. outside pay is limited to 15% of congressional pay, and certain types of income involving a fiduciary responsibility or personal endorsement are prohibited. <SEP> The Republicans regained the majority of the Senate in the 114th Congress, which started in January 2015; the Republicans had not controlled the Senate since January 2007. They had needed a net gain of at least six seats to obtain a majority. They held all of their seats, and gained nine Democratic - held seats. Republicans defeated five Democratic incumbents: <SEP> These bills must now be reconciled. The U.S. Senate passed a reform bill in May 2010, following the House which passed a bill in December 2009. The New York Times provided a comparative summary of the features of the two bills, which address to varying extent the principles enumerated by the Obama administration. For instance, the Volcker Rule against proprietary trading is not part of the legislation, though in the Senate bill regulators have the discretion but not the obligation to prohibit these trades.
