Representatives and Senators make up the Legislative branch of government in the United States. Representatives are elected by a vote of the people.
Until 1913, Senators were appointed by the legislatures of the various States to represent the State. The 17th Amendment changed this to require that Senators be elected by a vote of the people. In the case of the death or disability of a Senator, the laws of the various states may call for a special election to be held to fill the vacancy, or may allow the Governor of the State to select a replacement temporary Senator to serve until the next election.
