Yes, there are limits on power in the Senate, primarily defined by the U.S. Constitution, Senate rules, and democratic principles. The Senate operates under a system of checks and balances, with power distributed among its members and subject to procedural rules that require consensus for certain actions, such as cloture to end a filibuster. Additionally, the Senate's authority is checked by the House of Representatives and the executive branch, ensuring no single entity holds absolute power.
