How big is the U.S. Senate?
Posted by: mayorquimby in Politics, tags: government, Politics, US SenateMy 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.
