30 years old, citizen of the US for 9 years, legal resident if the state they represent
There are three basic requirements for election to the senate. First is age. A senator must be at least 30 years old. A senator must be a US citizen for at least 9 years before election. Finally, a senator must reside in the state he represents.
Yes
The governor calls an election if a senator dies in office.
How did the writer of this question?
A US Senator is elected for 6 years. They are divided into three groups, so that one third are up for election every two years. And only one state senator is up for election at any election cycle (unless there is a mid-term election to replace a senator who has died or resigned).
My vote in the coming 2013 election will be for Senator Antonio Trillanes. He has proven credibility, will and courage to fight against corruption in the government. God speed Senator! :-)
While election is the main way that one becomes a senator, sometimes a senator is appointed. for example, if a senator dies while still in office, the governor may appoint someone to temporarily take that person's place until there is a new election.
No.
Voters vote a new person in with a special election.
A senator is a senator-elect until he is sworn in (normally in January following an election). A senator newly elected is called a freshman senator.
