| | United States Senate - Free Encyclopedia |
| | The United States Senate, named after the ancient Roman Senate, is the upper house of the Congress of the United States, smaller than the U.S. House of Representatives. | | | Senators serve for terms of six years; the terms are staggered so that approximately one-third of the Senate is up for election every two years: each time there are elections in about 33 states for one of the two seats. | | | The Constitution of the United States endows the U.S. Senate, in addition to its duty of passing all legislation passed through Congress, with the exclusive responsibility of confirming certain Presidential appointments, particularly federal judges (as part of the system of checks and balances) and ratifying international treaties negotiated by the executive. |
