 | | United States Senate, the smaller of the two legislative bodies of the Congress of the United States. | | | The Constitution requires a senator to be at least 30 years old, a U.S. citizen for at least nine years, and a resident of the state from which he or she is elected. | | | The 1787 Constitutional Convention devised the special characteristics of the Senate after the delegates rejected James Madison’s Virginia Plan, which proposed that the Senate be appointed by the House of Representatives. |

| | THE UNITED STATES SENATE |
| | The President of the Senate is the Vice-President of the United States, but he or she may vote only in case of a tie vote. | | | The Senate has the exclusive constitutional power, by a two-thirds majority of the Senators present and voting, to authorize the President to ratify a treaty that has been negociated on behalf of the United States. | | | The Senate also has the exclusive constitutional power to confirm, by simple majority vote, the nomination of persons whom the President has nominated to high executive and judicial positions, including cabinet secretaries, ambassadors, and federal judges. |

| | SingaporeMoms - Parenting Encyclopedia - United States Senate |
| | Senators are elected by their state as a whole; if both Senate seats are contested in one election year, the elections will be separate and all voters in the state will cast votes for one candidate in each of the two races. | | | The senator from each state with the longer tenure is known as the "senior senator" and carries some additional responsibilities to their state's constituents; however, this does not necessarily indicate a hierarchy in which the senior senator has direct authority over the junior senator. | | | 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. |

| | United States Senate - Uncyclopedia |
| | The United States Senate is the smaller, more deliberative chamber of Congress. | | | Perhaps the most famous Senate Procedure is the filibuster, in which a member prevents passage of legislation by continuing to talk so long that the other Senators get bored, wander off and can't vote on the bill. | | | The Senate is made up of two representatives from each State in the Union, a request granted after Rhode Island threatened to walk out of the Constitutional Convention in a huff "and take my shaking religious minorities with me" if it didn't get its way. |

| | The Constitution of the United States of America is a legitimate constitution, having been submitted directly to the people for ratification by their representatives elected and assembled solely for the purpose of passing on the terms of that document. | | | Purporting to act pursuant to the treaty powers of the Constitution, the President of the United States signed, and the United States Senate ratified, the charter of the United Nations. | | | On the one hand, some proposed that once the charter of the United States was ratified, the President of the United States would act independently of Congress pursuant to his executive prerogatives to conduct the foreign affairs of the Nation. |

| | On the one hand, President Bush has asked the Senate to confirm Judge Roberts as Chief Justice of the United States, a lifetime position of enormous national influence and constitutional importance. | | | It is thus doubtful whether the Senate could fulfill its constitutional duty to "advise and consent" on a nominee if they were to confirm a Chief Justice whose record remains -- in President Reagan's words -- "under a cloud". | | | Half a record is no record upon which the Senate can decide whether Judge Roberts should serve for decades as the next Chief Justice. |
