	United States Senate - Knowmore
		In the Senate, each state is equally represented by two members, regardless of population; as a result, the total membership of the body is 100.
		Senators serve for six-year terms, which are staggered so that elections are held in approximately one-third of the seats (a "class") every second year.
		The senator from each state with the longer tenure is known as the "senior senator," and his or her counterpart as the "junior senator"; this convention, however, does not have any special significance.
