		Unlike the United States House of Representatives, the Senate has no strict rules regarding debate, and one strategy used by senators to kill a bill is the filibuster, an intentional extension of debate on the bill, which prevents it from coming to a vote.
		The senator from each state with the longer tenure is known as the "senior senator" and carries some additional responsibilities to their state's constituents; however, this does not necessarily indicate a hierarchy in which the senior senator has direct authority over the junior senator.

	Great Seal of the United States - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		From the eagle's perspective, it holds a bundle of thirteen arrows in its left talon, (referring to the thirteen original states), and an olive branch, (having thirteen leaves and thirteen olives), in its right talon, symbolic respectively of war and peace, (see: Olive Branch Petition).
		First, it has no stars on the blue chief, (though other arms based on it do: the chief of the arms of the United States Senate may show thirteen or fifty, and the shield the September 11 Commission has, sometimes, fifty mullets on the chief).
		The symbolism of the seal is obvious—the shield is reminiscent of the national flag, and the Bald Eagle is a well-known national symbol of the United States.
