House of Senate

The House of Senate, often called the Senate, is one of the two chambers of the U.S. Congress, along with the House of Representatives. It is responsible for making and passing laws, reviewing policies, and representing the interests of states. Each state elects two Senators, regardless of population, ensuring equal state representation. Senators serve six-year terms and play key roles in confirming presidential appointments and ratifying treaties. The Senate works alongside the House to create legislation, check the executive branch, and serve as a fundamental part of the U.S. government’s system of checks and balances.
