My fellow Americans,

Even though US presidential elections take place in November, the winner is not sworn in until the 20th of January after the election.

So, the new president’s term officially starts at 12:00 noon Eastern time on January 20th.  This time around, it looks like it’s shaping up the be quite a party.

Thank you for your question.

My fellow Americans,

The U.S. Senate is made up of two senators from each state.  That currently makes a total of 100 senators - since we have 50 states.

It’s been that way since Hawaii joined the union in 1959.

Thank you for your question.
