Senate

The Senate is one of the two chambers of the United States Congress, which is part of the Legislative Branch of government. It is made up of 100 Senators, two from each state, serving six-year terms. The Senate's primary roles include making laws, approving treaties, and confirming federal appointments, such as judges and cabinet members. Decisions typically require a majority vote, and the Senate also has special powers, like conducting impeachment trials for federal officials. Overall, the Senate plays a crucial role in shaping federal legislation and representing the interests of the states at the national level.
