Pursuant to Article I, section 3, clauses 1 & 2 of the Constitution of the United States of America, United States Senators serve terms of six years. These terms are staggered so that every two years, one third of the Senate is up for re-election. The purpose of staggering the six year terms in this manner is to lower the likelihood that the entire Senate may shift political alignment.
