	SingaporeMoms - Parenting Encyclopedia - United States Senate
		Senators are elected by their state as a whole; if both Senate seats are contested in one election year, the elections will be separate and all voters in the state will cast votes for one candidate in each of the two races.
		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.

	Bipartisan Senate Majority Must Block Cheney's 'Nuclear Option'
		On the pretext that the Democratic minority has obstructed Bush's nominations, the presiding officer of the Senate, that is, Vice President Dick Cheney, would announce a change of rules, so that an end to debate ("cloture") would require only a simple majority of 51 votes, rather than the 60 it now requires.
		The Senate is not, and was never intended to be, a simply majoritarian body, but was designed as the "cooling saucer," the more deliberative body, in contrast to the House of Representives which the Framers of the Constitution saw as most subject to the passions of the moment.
		Committee chairman Arlen Specter had selected Myers' nomination to go first, believing that this would be the easiest of Bush's re-submitted nominations to get through, but at the March 1 hearing on the Myers nomination, Specter encountered much tougher opposition to the nomination than he was anticipating.
