	United States Senate - Encyclopedia.WorldSearch (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-16)
		The Constitution of the United States endows the U.S. Senate, in addition to its duty of passing all legislation through Congress, with the exclusive responsibility of confirming certain Presidential appointments, including federal judges and cabinet secretaries as part of the system of checks and balances.
		Unlike the United States House of Representatives, there are 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, thereby preventing 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.

	CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: The United States of America
		Many of the legislatures were dismissed or dissolved for their connexion with the circular letter, or for complaining of the unfair treatment of some sister colony.
		In examining the constitutionality of a state law one is to assume that the state legislature has power to pass all acts whatever, unless they are prohibited by the Constitution of the United States or by the constitution of the state.
		The legislatures of the free states, except Iowa, resolved that Congress had the power and was in duty bound to prohibit slavery in the territories.

	UNITED STATES
		Currently, there is debate in many state legislatures across the United States regarding whether to permit undocumented students to attend state universities as “state residents” and, therefore, be eligible for lower in-state resident tuition rates and financial aid.
		There is also a bill pending before the United States Congress, the DREAM Act, to permit those foreign students who successfully complete a university or college degree to obtain lawful permanent residency status.
		However, only a small number of states have been able to completely replace the lost federal benefits for unqualified immigrants and most of the state programs are limited to providing assistance to the elderly and children.
