The Senate
the Senate is the upper house in the bicameral legislature of the US, together with the House of Represenatives, they make up the Congress. The powers of the Senate are listed in article 1 on the US Constitution. Each state gets two represenatives in the Senate no matter what the populatio is. The Senators are elected by the people in the states, and serve in six-year terms. The chamber of the Senate is in the north wing of the Capitol, of Washington D.C., the national capitol. The Senate has powers including, consent on treaties, and consenting, or confirming appointments to Cabinet Secretaries, federal judges, other federal executive officials, ambassadors, regulatory officials, military officers, and federal uniformed officers. They also have the right to trial federal officials that have been impeached (accused of something bad, and if proven guilty will be forced to leave their office) by the House of Represenatives.
