Senators serve 6 year terms and Representatives serve 2 year terms. The senate has 3 groups which have their elections staggered 2 years apart. So... 1/3 of the Senate, and all Representatives are elected every two years.
Some citizens of Rome may have preferred absolute rulers over elected senators due to the desire for stability and decisive leadership during times of crisis or political turmoil. They may have viewed absolute rulers as more capable of swiftly addressing issues without the delays and compromises often associated with the senatorial system. Additionally, the allure of strong, charismatic leaders who promised to restore order and prosperity could have appealed to those disillusioned with the inefficacies of the Senate. This preference for autocratic rule reflected a longing for security and effective governance amidst uncertainty.
The Roman lawmaking group elected for life was called the Senate. Comprised primarily of patricians and later plebeians, the Senate held significant power in governance, including making laws, advising magistrates, and controlling financial policies. Although not a legislative body in the modern sense, its influence was central to the political life of the Roman Republic and later the Empire. Senators were often chosen from former magistrates and served for life unless they were removed or chose to resign.
Oh, dude, in a constitutional monarchy, the monarch's powers are limited by a constitution, so technically they don't have much say in how the country is run. It's more like they're there for show, like a fancy ornament on a cake. So yeah, people in a constitutional monarchy have some say, but the real power lies with the elected government.
In the Senate and House, independents usually occupy seats that curve around. Crossbenches are often referred to as these seats.
There are no Senators in the House. Senators are elected to the US Senate while Representatives are elected to the US House of Representatives. Senators serve terms of six years while Representatives serve 2 year terms.
Members of the House of Representatives serve 2 year terms and there are no time limit on the amount of times they can be reelected.
i believe every six years. :)
Typically it is easier for a current congressional member to get re-elected than it is for a new candidate to actually get elected. Therefore, it is pretty common.
Do you mean US Senators? The US Constitution sets the number of Seneators at two per state. Alabama, just like the other 49 states, elects two Senators to the US Senate. The State of Alabama has a state legislature as well, with both a House of Representatives and a Senate. The Alabama State Senate has a total of 35 members.
Re-Election is acheived by signing up for the ballot, and charming the Voters. If you think that Senator should not be re-elected, don't vote for them, but you need to vote for somebody, or your opinion doesn't count. If you really feel strongly that someone should be re-elected, get involved in their campaign and help. Getting involved gives you the right to have your thoughts heard by others.
Senators are elected every 6 years; however the US Constitution staggered the first Senate terms so that 1/3 of the Senate would come up for reelection at a time rather than have the entire Senate come up for reelection at the same time.
Each of the 435 members of the House of Representatives serves a two-year term. The 100 Senators six-year terms. However, the majority of incumbent congressmen are often reelected to multiple terms. Since members of the House serve two-year terms, it can be said that Congress is reelected every 2 years.
Every two years for mayors, deputies, every four for senators. And every 4 for president.
Representatives, in the House of Representatives, are elected to a two year term, so elections are held every two years. Senators are elected to a six year term.
The original size was 26, two for each of the 13 original states. Its purpose was much as it is now. It was elected in a different way . The state legislatures elected the senators and they often chose men of property with family connections.
Regrettably, yes. There are 'career' congress people. This is regrettable because the victory usually goes to the person best able to buy the office, and because the growing implication with 'lifers' is that there couldn't possibly be any other talented people in the state with any ideas worth presenting.
