They include:

  • Works with the House of Representatives to establish laws for the United States
  • Approves nomination of cabinet members, federal judges and other federal executive officers
  • Works in committees to oversee and make policies on topics such as Education, Transportation, Banking and Finance, Foreign Affairs, the Environment and other topics.

Each state has 2 senators, elected by citizens in that state. Senators serve 6-year terms, with 1/3 of the total number of senate seats being up for election each even-year. One US Senate seat will be on the Election 2010 ballot in North Carolina.
