Question

i think it either 4 or 6 years but i'm not sure

Answer 1

Under the Constitution, the 17th Amendment covers the senator. To answer your question directly, a senator runs for a six year term. Check out this Amendment for more about the Office of Senator.

Answer 3

The Constitution prescribes that the Senate be composed of two Senators from each State (therefore, the Senate currently has 100 Members) and that a Senator must be at least thirty years of age, have been a citizen of the United States for nine years, and, when elected, be a resident of the State from which he or she is chosen. A Senator's term of office is six years and approximately one-third of the total membership of the Senate is elected every two years.

Answer 4

Senators run on 6 year terms.
