Yes, they may.
There are no qualifications or limitations in either article 1 or 2 of the constitution that would prevent a candidate for the senate from also running for President or Vice-President.

United States Senators serve six-year terms that are staggered, so that every two years, a third of all Senate seats would be up for election.
In a statewide election, which is separate from the Governor election. This means it is possible for the Governor and Lieutenant Governor to be from separate parties, which last happened during George W. Bush's first term.

It is said to be only a third of them -33 to 34- expire every two years, that is why the Senate is also called a continuous body, because all its seats are never up for election at the same time.
As Majority Leader of the US Senate, Harry Reid's salary is $193,400 (which is the same as the Minority Leader). The pay of an "ordinary" senator is $174,000.
The senate and I believe the house also do a "staggered" election. A senator's term is 6 years but not all senators are up for election at the same time. Senator A is up for election this year while senator B is up in 2009. both are serving 6 year terms but the start of the terms are not the same.
In congress, there are two branches: the House of Representatives and the Senate. A Senator is a member of the senate. A congressman is referring that he/she is part of either the House or the Senate.
Members of the senate can serve up to six years on the senate but each senator is put up for another election every two years to see if they will remain in office or get booted for a new senator. This process is the same for the president but just longer years.
Because every senator is senator for the same senate, no matter what state, their term is always two years.
. The Republicans lost eight Senate seats in the 2008 election--the same number they won back this week--and another 6 seats in the previous election in 2006. In 2004, the Republicans held control of the Presidency, the Senate and the House. In the six years since, the voters have drastically REDUCED their role in the federal government.
It depends on the legislation and regulations of the country concerned.
The political party CAN in charge of the US Senate CAN change with each election, or it can remain whatever it was pre-election. So, it is incorrect that the same party is forever in charge of the Senate; it depends on the election results each time.
senate seats are never up for reelection at the same time
Senators are elected into power the same way the president is. When the Senator in your area is up for re-election there will be one held on the same day as the presidential election.
United States Senators serve six-year terms that are staggered, so that every two years, a third of all Senate seats would be up for election.
Although a Senator serves a 6 year term of office, there are senatorial elections every 2 years, because Senators are not all elected at the same time; one third of the Senate is up for re-election in any given election. In any given state, there should be two senate elections every six years. They may occur more often if a senator dies or resigns while in office, depending on exactly how your particular state chooses replacement senators.
Barbara Boxer is a U.S. Senator from California, which is not the same thing as a California State Senator. A California State Senator is a member of the California State Senate, which is part of the California State Legislature. The U.S. Senate is part of the U.S. Congress, which is part of the federal government. The term "California Senator" can be confusing, because it could refer to either a U.S. Senator from California or a California State Senator.
