We elect a U.S. Senator for how many years?

Why this is the answer

U.S. Senators serve longer terms than Representatives so they can focus on long-term issues. The Constitution sets a Senate term at six years. Elections are staggered, so only about one-third of the Senate is up for election every two years.

💡 Memory tip: Senators = six years; think 'S' for Senate and 'six'.
