What Work Can Senators Do?

There are two senators from each state in the Senate, each elected at different times so there is overlap within their terms. The senator that has been serving for longer is referred to as a Senior senator, and the newer one is referred to as the Junior. Senator Steve Daines is the junior senator serving alongside senior Senator Jon Tester.

The Senate plays a very important role in the US government. It along with the House of Representatives make up Congress, which plays the main role in law-making procedures. The Senate also runs trials for impeachment or malfeasance (misconduct by a government official) and can appoint and confirm federal officials.

The House of Representatives and Senate can both create bills, or joint resolutions (between the two of them).

The lawmaking process:

1. A Bill or Resolution is proposed by the Senate or House of Representatives.
2. The Speaker will refer this Bill to a specific committee.
3. If the Bill is urgent and important, a date will be set for public hearing.
4. Markup and final committee actions. The committee will then report the bill back to the House.
5. Debate and Second Reading - amendments can be proposed.
6. Voting.
7. Final Action. Keep in mind bills have to make it through both houses: both the Senate and House of Representatives.
8. Presidential approval. The Bill is then sent to the President - the President may veto, and return the bill with objections and feedback, or approve it. If the President fails to return the bill with objections within 10 days of receiving it, it becomes law as if it was signed.

It is wise, then, to know what actions you’d like your senator to take on the issue or bill at hand. When preparing your argument, you may research what step the bill in question is currently in the House or Senate, and what contribution your senator may make.
