New laws for country
A senators job is to represent the people living in his or her state in the United States Senate. Part of this job is to

House of Representatives and signed by the President of the United States in order to become a law. A senator can
stay in office for an unlimited amount of six-year terms if they are re-elected. In total there are one hundred
senators, two from each state. A senator must be at least thirty years old and have been a citizen for nine years. No
education is required for this position, but most have degrees in law or political science. They work part of the year
in Washington, D.C. and part in their home state.
