A senator is a member of the U.S congress. Since one president is incapable of meeting the demands and needs of each state individually, instead, every state is run by two senators who serve 6 year terms.

The scope of power of the Senate is far more than an ordinary politician, and they essentially act as 'mini presidents' for their respective states, still however, working under the U.S. President. They have the power to consent to treaties as well as making vast decisions based on federal concerns.
There are generally 3 conditions for becoming a senator. These are:
- You must be at least 30 years old or more,
- Required to have been a U.S. resident for at least the past 9 years,
- Must reside within the state you wish to represent.
