The elected president must resign his position in the senate causing a vacancy as occurs if a senator dies in office or resigns for any reason. What happens next depends upon the state legislature of the affected state. According to the 17th Amendment the state legislature can direct the governor to appoint someone to temporarily serve as senator until an election can be held or else leave the office open until an election can be held. The exact timing of the election is left to the legislature.

There are one hundred senators, two from each state in the union. If you include the President of the Senate, who is not an elected senator but who is the sitting vice president of the US, you could say there are 101 seats. The President of the Senate can break a tie vote.

The President may only be re-elected one time, to serve two consecutive terms. ------------ Well, technically, a person may serve as many as 10 years as President. This can be accomplished if the vice president must finish the term of another president and the time remaining is equal to but less than 2 more years. At that point the sitting president can be elected two more times. Could you claim they were re-elected twice? That's up to the observer.
