The Senate has exactly 100 senators. Two senators represent each state regardless of the size and population. Each senator must be at least 30 years of age, a citizen of the United States for at least 9 years, and living in the state you wish to represent. Each term consists of six years, but you can try for re-election as many times as you want.

In the Senate, there is no limit on how long a senator can speak. Senators (like Kennedy Smith in Mr. Smith Goes to Washington) can speak for ask long as their legs can hold them. If they speak for excessive amounts of time, usually to delay or entirely prevent a bill from being voted on. Senators can cloture the filibuster with at least a three-fifths vote (at least 60 senators).
