U.S. Senate
The U.S. Senate is one of the two chambers of the United States Congress, the other being the House of Representatives. Comprising 100 seats, two from each of the 50 states, senators serve six-year terms with staggered elections. The Senate's responsibilities include ratifying treaties, confirming federal appointments such as those to the Supreme Court, and conducting impeachment trials for federal officials. The Vice President serves as the President of the Senate but only votes if there is a tie on a legislative decision. The Senate is traditionally considered the 'upper house' and plays a crucial role in determining the course of the nation's laws and policies.
