Answer:
True
Explanation:
The term of the senators is six years. Elections, however, occur every two years for the choice of approximately one-third of the positions in the US Senate. The vice president of the United States is the presiding officer of the US Senate, but he is not a senator, and as such, does not vote, although he holds Minerva's vote in cases of tied votes. The Senate is seen as a more deliberative body politic than the House of Representatives; the Senate is smaller and the term of office of its members is greater, making the atmosphere in the US Senate more formal and more isolated from American public opinion than it is in the House of Representatives. In addition, the Senate has several unique powers given by the United States Constitution, not given to the House of Representatives. One of the most significant powers is the fact that the President of the United States can only ratify treaties and hold political meetings "with the advice and consent of the Senate," according to Article I of the American Constitution.
