how many senators are there in the senate
There are 100 Senators in the Senate. The number of Senators per state remains at two and the total number only changes when a new state is admitted into the union. The number of members in the House of Representatives is a different story and is based on population.
Each state, regardless of population or size, has two senators. Currently, there are 100 senators representing the 50 states. Each senator is elected at-large in his or her state for a six-year term, with terms staggered, so every two years approximately one-third of the Senate is up for election.
