There was extensive discussion in the Continental Congress concerning the length of the terms in the Senate as well as how to best turn over the membership. Nathaniel Gorham, Edmund Randolph and Hugh Williamson proposed different scenarios but it was Gorham who finally proposed the winning combination. The Senate would serve 6-year terms with a third of the membership turning over every two years.
Ambassadors are the official representatives of the head of state abroad. As such, in the United States, the President (Executive Branch) appoints ambassadors. The Senate (Legislative Branch) confirms the ambassador's nomination before he or she takes his post as chief of mission within the embassy.

Officially, the Vice President presides over the Senate but can only vote in case of a tie. Usually, the V.P is not there so the president pro tempore stands over the Senate (usually an senior member of the Senate). It is basically an honorary position, and even the pro tempore is replaced by junior members of the Senate to understand what is going on in the Senate. However, the majority leader (leader of the majority party in the Senate) wields the most power, similar to the power of the Speaker of the House
