Elections are held every 2 years.  We elect all members of congress every 2 years which is an election cycle.  In order words every member of congress will have to run of election again in two years.  Senators have 6 years terms.  Each state has 2 senators.  Their terms are staggered (only one runs for re-election at a time).  And elect them every 3 election cycles.

Senators are elected by popular vote by the people of the state they represent.  Each Senator holds office for a six-year term.  Except in rare cases where a Senate seat has become vacant mid-term (because of a death or resignation), a state does not have elections for both seats in the same year.

depends on the office.  Most is 4 years, for things such as President of U.S.\nSenator is longer I believe.

It's a good question, but unfortunately there are more factors involved with each of our representatives than are outlined in the duties and responsibilities which theoretically make up the office which they hold.  First I should note that two terms is a blink of the eye in the House.  In the Senate a two term limit might reasonably be argued for, as 12 years is a far more significant amount of time than the 4 years which two terms would provide a Member of the House.\n\nMembers of the House in particular have a very difficult time accomplishing a great deal in their first term in Congress.  A significant amount of time is necessary for a Member to gain the political capital, make connections, become familiar with the customs and precedence of the body, and become an effective legislator.  If every legislator served one, or even two terms in the House, Congress would be an incredibly inefficient body (even more so than it is now).\n\nSecondly, due to the short term of office, Members are effectively perpetually running for office, especially in competitive districts.  The amount of time which is spent campaigning and rasing funds for reelection is enormous. \n\nAs a former aid to a U.S. Representative in Washington, my own opinion is that a term limit of just two terms on the House would be a terrible mistake.  Some of the very best members seem to be the ones who have been around the longest, though certainly there are a number of Representatives who have maintained their office solely on incumbent reputation and, for the most part, have done very little to warrant the continued confidence of their constituency.  While one might argue for a limit of 5 terms or more, even this I don't support.  While there are always challenges to the rule, for the most part, an outside party will generally arise to challenge the incumbent when popular opinion is such that the incumbent no longer is serving as a good representative of the district.  In most cases, that authority faces challenges through the election process every election cycle. \n\nIf the goal were to improve the job which Members do for their districts, the solution would actually be to adopt four-year terms, negating the seemingly constant campaigning and fund-raising which Members are forced to participate in if they hope to keep their jobs after each bi-annual election.  In my experience, this constant pomp and circumstance surrounding, and the lobbying, partisanship, and political bargaining which accompanies it, is by far the single greatest threat to effective government through our elected representatives.

The senate.  House sets are good for only two years, senate seats are good for six years.  Like Jefferson stated the house is to the senate are like the saucer is to the cup of coffee.  The house brings about new ideas which some are too controversial.  Its the senates job to weed out the inappropriate ones and cool down the legislation to fit mainstream America.

It depends , it can take a few weeks , or a few months.  It depends on the amount of debate the bill generates.  A healthy amount of debate produces better bills, so Congress should never be pressured or rushed.

Your question is a little vague.  But, most government jobs are advertised on the website of the city/state/agency etc.  Usually they are posted for a period of time (4-6 weeks) to collect applications.  Sometimes at the close of applications there is a test for qualified people.  A pool will be drawn up and the hiring manager or human resources person will interview the finalists.  \n\nPlan on the process taking 3-4 months even if you have the right qualifications.

There are two from every state.  They are representative for their constituents.  They are supposed to advocate for the best interests of the citizens of their state, as well as the best interests of the USA.  They serve six year terms.  Many of them were lawyers before becoming senators.  They draft legislation thereby making laws that can affect all Americans.  They vote on legislation.  And together with the House of Representative, the other body of the Legislative Branch, and the President (the Executive branch), they make federal laws.  They also nominate high school students for admission to military schools such as West Point.  The senate is also broken up into sub-committees, where senators break up into different committes such as the Judiciary committee, ways and means committees, etc., where they discuss and debate issues in smaller groups and decide what should be discussed with all senators in their specific topic area.
