US Senators and Representatives

Thaddeus Stevens was one of the most powerful men in the US House of Representatives during the Civil War (1861-1865). Considered a 'radical Republican,' he tirelessly worked on behalf of African-American emancipation and political enfranchisement.

Although he never married formally, his common-law wife was Lydia Hamilton Smith, an African-American woman. Their relationship endured for over 23 years, during which time she lived with him as his "housekeeper." At his death he left her a bequest of $5000, a huge sum for 1868.

how many senators must each state elect to congress

Yes

Amy Klobuchar (D) and a Vacant Seat to be filled on or after 26 January 2009 because of a contested election.

The Vice President of the United States[1] is the first person in the presidential line of succession, becoming the new President of the United States upon the death, resignation, or removal of the president, should he or she accept the position. Every presidential term ends on January 20 of the year immediately after a presidential election. As designated by the Constitution of the United States, the vice president also serves as the President of the Senate, and may break tie votes in that chamber.[2] He or she may be assigned additional duties by the president but, as the Constitution assigns no executive powers to the vice president, in performing such duties he or she acts only as an agent of the president

Democrat Nancy Pelosi was Speaker of the House in 2009.

US Senators serve 6-year terms and US Representatives serve for 2 years.

Neither legislative body has term limits. Some political analysts believe term limits would add more diversity in the US congress. Term limits also prevent any single individual to gain too much power.

There are 4 US representatives from Kansas.

For the 113th Congress (2013-2014), the members by district are:

1. Tim Huelskamp (R)

2. Lynn Jenkins (R)

3. Kevin Yoder (R)

4. Mike Pompeo (R)

It depends on the country and the level of government. Some terms are 3 years, some are 4 years, and some 5.

In July of 2014, the two US Senators from Iowa was Tom Harkin and Chuck Grassley. Grassley has been a senator since 1981. Harkin was first elected in 1985.

Justices on the Supreme Court of Canada are not elected; rather, they are summoned by the Governor General of Canada, on the advice of the prime minister. The Department of Justice undertakes various processes to come up with recommendations to the prime minister, and recently the current prime minister has started the practice of having potential puisne justices meet an ad hoc committee of the House of Commons for questioning before an appointment is made.

Mark Warner (D) and Timothy Kaine (D) are the U.S. Senators representing Virginia. Kaine's next election will be in 2018. Warner's next election will be in 2020. Based on the results of the 2010 census, Virginia has 11 Representatives in the US House of Representatives. As of 2017 they are 1st district Rob Wittman (R); 2nd district Scott Taylor (R); 3rd district Bobby Scott (D); 4th district Donald McEachin (D); 5th district Thomas Garrett Jr. (R); 6th district Bob Goodlatte (R); 7th district Dave Brat (R); 8th district Don Beyer (D); 9th district Morgan Griffith (R); 10th district Barbara Comstock (R); and 11th district Gerry Connolly (D).

Every state has two senators because representation in the Senate is equal among states of all population sizes. Thus, Kentucky has two Republican senators in the 112th Congress, Mitch McConnell and Rand Paul. McConnell is the Republican Leader in the Senate. Meanwhile, representation in the House of Representatives is based on population. There are currently 435 Representatives. Of these, Kentucky has six:

Whitfield, Ed, Kentucky, 1st district

Guthrie, S. Brett, Kentucky, 2nd district

Yarmuth, John A., Kentucky, 3rd district

Davis, Geoff, Kentucky, 4th district

Rogers, Harold, Kentucky, 5th district

Chandler, Ben, Kentucky, 6th district

The purpose of having each US state have two senators is a check on states with large populations. Having a small state having a say and influence is best served by the current system. The House representatives are based on a states population. This is equalized by the two senator per state concept.

It was because there were two opinions on how representation in Congress should be handled; equally and proportionally based on a state's population.

That's why in the Senate every state has two representatives, while in the House each state has a number that is dependent on their population.

Every state has two U. S. Senators.

Iowa controls five House seats from 1993 to 2013 and four House seats from 2013 to 2023.

California currently has 53 representatives in the House of Representatives.

The U. S. Senator from Georgia reelected to the 2009-2015 term is Republican Saxby Chambliss.

The U. S. Senator from Georgia reelected to the 2011-2017 term is Republican Johnny Isakson.

The number of electoral votes for each state is equal to the sum of its number of Senators and its number of Representatives in the U.S. House of Representatives. Based on the 2010 Census, there are 3 members of the U.S. House of Representatives from New Mexico. Therefore, New Mexico has 5 electoral votes.

I am not sure your question is accurate. John Tower was the first Texas Republican senator elected since Reconstruction, but that would mean since 1870-- not 1800. (Since Texas was not admitted to the Union till 1845, it would be impossible for anyone, Democratic or Republican, to have been sent to the US Senate prior to that date.) John Tower was elected in 1961, and resigned in 1985.

Since the democrats still hold a slight majority, Richard Durbin will most likely retain the position for another term.

I'm not sure if this is the accurate answer, but I think its 10 years!
