It means that a US senator must live in the state from which they are elected. The restriction is easy to fulfill since one can move into the state during the campaign. One just has to live in the state by election day.

the senate elections are held in a staggard fashion which means that only about a third of the senators are elected in each election. so all the seats in the senate are never completely empty. for example, if there were 60 senators for example, 30 senators are in the election this year, while the other 30 will be in the election a couple years from now. these two groups rotate.
No one was re-elected in 1920. Republican Warren Harding took the election, replacing Democrat Woodrow Wilson.
When a senator gets elected they serve for six years in one term (a representative serves two years in their term.) They can get re-elected as many times as they want until they die or commit a felony. In my opinion, members of congress need to have term limits like the president does so corruption in the capitol would reduce. Some senators have been there for 42 years!
U.S. Senators are elected for a six-year term. One third of the Senators are up for election every two years.
Senators are elected into power the same way the president is. When the Senator in your area is up for re-election there will be one held on the same day as the presidential election.
Every two years, one U.S. Senate seat of each of two thirds of the states comes up for election.
In any one election year the portion of senators elected is about one third. Every two years about 33 or 34 states have senatorial elections.
This is virtually true of the US Senate. The 100 members serve for 6-year terms but only 1/3 are elected at each congressional election held every two years. 33 senators are elected every election and 34 must be elected one in three.. Each state has two senators and they are always elected in different years.
Each state elects two senators. Senators are elected by the state as a whole, as opposed to Representatives who are elected to represent a specific portion of the state. Senators serve a six year term. The terms are staggered so that one-third are elected with each Congressional election, every two years.
Senators used to be elected from the state legislature and now we the people vote for a new one every 6 years.

Early in the history of the United States, US Senators were elected by their state legislatures. This was seen as one of the important differences between the Senate and the House of Representatives. This method of election appeared in Article 1, Section 3 of the US Constitution. Direct election of US Senators became the norm in all states during the 20th century with the passage of the 17th amendment in 1913.
Each state elects two senators. Senators are elected by the state as a whole, as opposed to Representatives who are elected to represent a specific portion of the state. One of the state's senators is elected in each senatorial election, which are held two out of every three even numbered years (for example: 2000, 2002, 2006, 2008, 2012, 2016, ...). Senators serve a six year term.
Two so far. Futher more, this election season there would be one more. This being both presidential candidates are senators.
