Senators serve for six-year terms that are staggered so elections are held for approximately one-third of the seats (a "class") every second year. \n\nEach House Representative serves for a two-year term and may be re-elected an unlimited number of times. \n\nBy the time of their inauguration, the President and Vice President must be:\nnatural born citizens (or citizens at the time of the Constitution's adoption)  thirty-five years old \ninhabitants for at least fourteen years of the United States. \n\nSupreme Court of the United States, highest court in the United States and the chief authority in the judicial branch\n\nArticle III federal judges" (as opposed to judges of some courts with special jurisdictions) serve "during good behavior". They cannot be removed from office except by impeachment by the House of Representatives followed by conviction by the Senate. Often this is expressed by saying they are appointed "for life". They hold their seats until they resign, die, or are impeached and convicted.

The Senate has 100 seats, two for each state.  A Senator serves for 6 years, after which there is a new election for that Senate seat.  The structure of the election schedule is such that not all Senators come up for re-election all at once; they are staggered.  About one-third of the Senatorial seats comes up for election every two years.  Thus, over the course of six years, each Senate seat has exactly one election.  In the 2006 election cycle, 33 Senate seats are on the ballot in their various states.\n\nThe House of Representatives has 435 seats, which are assigned proportionally to the population of each state.  The House has had 435 seats since the Reapportionment Act of 1929, but technically, Congress has the authority to vote to change that number.  A Representative serves for a two year term.  Thus, all of the House seats come up for election every two years.\n\nSo this year, 33 Senate seats (1/3) and 435 House seats (100%) are on the ballot in their various states, in accordance with the terms set out in the Constitution and its various amendments.

There are two houses of congress, the Senate, and the House of Representatives. \n\nThe Senate has two representatives (Senators) from each state.\n\nThe House of Representatives has representatives based on the population in each state.\n\nA Congressman may be either a Senator or a Representative. Generally, the distinction is Congressman and Senator, but not always.\n\nSenators, by virtue of the fact that there only 100, have more power. I don't know exactly how many Representatives there are - you could probably find that datum fairly quickly, and I am too lazy to do it for you. I think a conservative estimate is that there are more that 3 representatives for every Senator.

Generally, they get at least 100 days (three months) after the start of the next Congressional term to make a difference before people can start complaining rationally.\n\nOf course, rational conduct has never been common in politics.\n\nThen again, 6 years after Bush was first elected, and 12 years after the Republicans have been in charge, we're still hearing that we should not judge to quickly and should give them a chance.

According to the Tenth Amendment to the Constitution, powers not listed in the Constitution or Amendments are considered to be given to the states.\n\nThe congressional term limits of state House and Senate representatives are determined by the State legislatures. I know that the State of California has term limits for Congress, however, many states do not, these states have the most powerful members of Congress among their ranks.
