The Senate is one of the two chambers in the legislative branch of the government of the United states. The Senate is composed of older members than in the House of Representatives. The minimum age requirement in the Senate is 30. There are two senators per each state which means 100 senators in total. Senators have term limits of six years, and unlike the House of representatives, they serve state-wide constituents as well as local constituents. The Senate has a couple of important powers. One important power that the Senate has is to confirm appointments made by the President of the United States. The Senate also has the power to run impeachment trials. The longer terms that Senators have allow them to serve interests that are new and different.
