The US Senate is one of the two chambers of the United States Congress, the legislative body of the federal government. Composed of 100 Senators, it represents the 50 states, with each state having two Senators regardless of its population size. Senators serve staggered six-year terms, allowing for continuous operation of the chamber. The Senate has several key responsibilities, including the enactment of federal laws, ratifying treaties, and confirming presidential appointments, such as federal judges and cabinet members. It also functions as a check on the executive branch, with the power to conduct impeachment trials for federal officials. The Senate operates under distinct rules and procedures, which often require a supermajority to overcome filibusters and pass legislation. It plays a crucial role in shaping national policy and governance in the United States.
