every three years the public takes votes and elects a new
by appointment of the governor of the state according to a formula established by congress
Article One of the Constitution established the Senate, and established that each state be represented by two senators, with staggering six-year terms.

Congress
3 house seats and 2 senate seats but the election in 2012 will drop from 17 to 16 so house and senate seats will be cut back
There are 100 Senate seats, two from each State
Well there are not necessarily rules determining the seating. What you will notice is the Members of the Democratic Party sit on the left-hand side together from the view of the speaker. Members of the Republican Party sit on the right-hand side. There are two desks on each side where the Majority and Minority Leader sit.
I believe it is 101 seats.
We have approximately 59 senators in Illinois.
U.S. Senate seats are divided among three classes. The classes have nothing to do with rank; they determine only the beginning and end dates for the three overlapping U.S. Senate terms. At the time statehood is granted, the two Senate seats to which each state is entitled are added to two of the classes. Class 1 Senate seats come up for election every six years including 2012. Class 2 Senate seats come up for election every six years including 2014. Class 3 Senate seats come up for election every six years including 2016.
100 Seats
Two seats
There are always two U. S. Senate seats for each state, so since 1959 there have been 100 seats in the Senate.
senate seats are never up for reelection at the same time
Currently there are 100 seats in the U-S Senate. Each state in the Union (in this day and age, that is 50 states) is allowed two seats in the Senate. This is in the Constitution of the U-S. 50 x2 equals 100.
In the House of Commons, they have 77 of the 308 seats. In the Senate, they have 49 of the 105 seats. Hope that helps.
