The United States Senate

The United States Senate is one of the two chambers of Congress, responsible for making federal laws. It has 100 Senators, two from each state, serving six-year terms. The Senate reviews and approves legislation passed by the House of Representatives, and has special powers like confirming presidential appointments and ratifying treaties. Senators represent their states’ interests, considering national issues while also respecting local needs. The Senate functions as a deliberative body, ensuring laws are thoroughly examined before becoming law, and plays a key role in balancing the executive and legislative branches of government.
