Article 1 Section 3, The Senate of the United States shall be composed of two Senators from each State, (chosen by the Legislature thereof,) (The preceding words in parentheses superseded by 17th Amendment, section 1.) for six Years; and each Senator shall have one Vote.
This is part of what I was talking about in the last blog, on how congress was separated into two different parts. This is the second part, which is the Senate, which is also known as the Upper House. The Senate has in all 100 members, two from each state. The Senators serve a six-year term. They help run the congress and have similar powers as the House.
In this article, it shows how the senate is practicing its powers and its responsibilities. The article states how the senate passed a $4.5 billion nutrition bill. This bill will help the well-being of our youth. This shows us how our senate is still fulfilling its duties. Now that they just need to keep following the rest of the steps, so it can become a law.
I believe that the senate does play a big part in the congress because it helps run the congress more smoothly, since it’s the other half. The senate is amore bigger representation of the state, which in all I think helps it because it helps us be represented more.
