Senate of the United States

The Senate of the United States is one of the two chambers of Congress, the legislative branch of the federal government. It consists of 100 members, with two senators representing each state regardless of population. Senators serve six-year terms, and they are responsible for crafting laws, reviewing and confirming presidential appointments, and ratifying treaties. The Senate also has the unique power to conduct impeachment trials for federal officials, including the President. This system is designed to balance the interests of different states and ensure that all parts of the country have a voice in the federal government.
