How long is a term for a U.S. senator?

Six (6) years.

  1. Two years
  2. Four years
  3. Six years ✔

Why: Senators serve six-year terms. House members serve two years and the President serves four.

Huh, didn't know that: About one-third of the Senate is up for election every two years, so it never turns over all at once.

Why was the calendar nervous? Its days were numbered.
