EXPLANATION  

What is Senate?

Talking about Senate in the case of the US Senate, the US Senate is the highest assembly in the United States legislature. Senate rights and powers are stipulated in Article 1 of the United States Constitution. Each state in the USA has its representatives in the Senate. Thus, the Senate consists of one hundred senators.  

Before the 17th amendment was adopted in 1913, the senator was elected by the state legislature, not through the elections. The Senate has various special powers or in this case, we call "exclusive powers" which are not given to the Parliament.  

Here are some of the senate’s strengths:

1.The Senate authorizes the appointment of federal judges, supervisory officials, ambassadors, military officers, cabinet secretaries, and other federal executive officials.

2.The Senate is responsible for trying federal officials impeached by Parliament.

3.Senate also maintains various powers and authority for himself. The Senate and Parliament have very broad authority. The two bodies work a lot to conduct hearings on committees or investigate and supervise.

4.The most core role of the Senate is to supervise and examine executives to maintain a balance of the policies they make.

The United States has 50 states and each state is represented by 2 senators in Senate that means Senate is composed of 100 Senators. Senate is the Upper chamber of the United States Congress. Before the ratification of the 17th Amendment, the State legislators were the one’s who used to choose senators but after the ratification, Senators are chosen by the People and they serve the term of six years and one third of the Senate is up for votes in every two years.  

If we talk about the exclusive powers of the Senate then it has the sole power to confirm or Reject the appointments made by the President as well as ratification of international treaties. The Senate also looks after the cases of impeachment which are related to federal officials. The Senate has power to override the bill presented before it by the President but the President can use his veto power to again override that bill and if Senate and House of representatives want to override that bill again then they need to vote with two-third of majority against the bill.
