About one-third of the Senators in Congress are elected every two years. This means the 33 are up for election at any one time.

Yes. All members of the House of Representatives are elected in two year intervals. The only deviation from this is when a special election is called, such as when a congressman dies in office or is otherwise relieved of duty earlier than his term would expire.

Not all senators are elected at the same time. Every 2 years about a third of the senator spots are up for election. One reason for this is to keep the senate more balanced and get new people in.

There are three classes of US senators comprising of 33 or 34 senators. A complete class of senators becomes due for election at the same time. This means that 33 or 34 senators are elected at a time.

to keep some stability. you don't want 100 new perspectives all at the same time (2 for each state) that would be biting off more than could be chewed. taking one step at a time proves to be a more effective and reliable strategy.

No. Senators serve terms of six years each. the terms are staggared so that approx. one-third of the seats are up for election every 2 years.
