US Senate

The U.S. Senate is the upper chamber of Congress, comprising 100 members, with each state represented by two senators serving six-year terms. It shares legislative power with the House of Representatives and has exclusive authority over confirming presidential appointments, ratifying treaties, and conducting impeachment trials. The Senate acts as a check on the executive branch and ensures equal representation for all states, regardless of population. Its deliberative nature and longer terms contribute to its prestige and stability within the U.S. government
