If a Senator breaks the rules of the Senate, what are the consequences?

Unfortunately in this point in history it seems you're untouchable once you get high enough in the government process. The "Old Boy" network is alive and well. They cover opne another's mistakes constantly. And for the consequences out there the only thing that seems to work is nationalized news exposure. There are no checks and balances anymore. We're definitely a corrupt nation.

The Vice President presides over the Senate and casts the deciding vote when a tie occurs.  So for now, Oil Companies will make the decisions when Republicans and Democrats can't compromise.

Impeachment means that the issue goes to the senate.  The senate then needs a 2/3 majority to throw the president out of office.

It can't affect the meaning of a law. It can sign a bill into a law, but not affect it beyond that. The legislature can physically change a bill before it becomes a law. The judiciary can affect a law by saying it is unconstitutional, but the executive can't affect a law.

Here's a link on the US Senate Committee that should give you an idea of what role they play in shaping legislation.  I can't tell you what effect committee assignments have on individual legislators, but think about this: ask yourself what interests an individual legislator from their state must serve while serving on a particular committee assignment?  Good luck...

The implication is that if you are doing something you are not supposed to be, you might get caught.

First the president would have to committ a crime, as he can only be tried by the senate (the house draws the articles).  There's no precedent for a coup without fault.  As many people would like to think, Bush has broken no laws.  Lying isn't against the law, unless it's under oath, and he never was.  Deal with it.  If he breaks the law, then we'll talk

Democrats will take over the House.\n\nRepublicans will keep control of the Senate, but not by legal means. Explanatory press releases have already been written explaining why results in some races were not as expected.

Section 1)  If the President leaves office through either his death or his resignation, then the Vice President becomes president (notice the first section doesn't require him to be sworn in, even though it's customary).  \n\nSection 2)  If there is no Vice President (for whatever reason), then the President nominates someone for Vice President; that person must be confimed by a majority (51%) of the House of Representatives.\n\nSection 3)  If the President signs a letter saying that he is not able to do his job for a time, the duties of the President are performed by the Vice President; he takes his office back by signing a letter declaring that he is able to resume his job.  This section is all about VOLUNTARILY giving up power for a time; it has been invoked on a number of occasions when a president has had to have surgery, for instance.\n\nSection 4)  is about INVOLUNTARILY surrendering power; If the Vice President AND a majority of the cabinet (or another body that Congress selects) determine that the president is incapable of fulfilling his duties, they deliver a letter to the President Pro Tem of the Senate and the Speaker of the House declaring this fact, at which time the Vice President assumes the duties of the President as *acting* president.  If the President later sends a letter to these same parties stating that he is fit to carry out his duties, he will re-assume his duties unless the VP and the majority of the cabinet (or the other selected body) sends another letter to the President Pro Tem of the Senate and the Speaker, saying that the President is not capable of performing his duties (this would be the second letter stating this); if that happens, the Congress assembles, and if a two-thirds vote of BOTH houses agrees with the VP and the Cabinet/ other body, then the VP takes over the duties of the President.\n\nAll this came about after the shooting of John F. Kennedy; had he lived, but been incapacitated, there would have been no constitutional basis for then Vice President Lyndon B. Johnson to have assumed the powers of the president; this amendment clarified the succession of the presidency in the event that the president was incapacitated but not dead.  It also provided for the appointment of a new vice president (Johnson served as President at least three years without a Vice President after becoming President when Kennedy was killed, thus putting the Speaker of the House 2nd in line for quite some time).

It means that you cant be punished for something that was made illegal AFTER you did it.\n\nAlso, if the law changes so the punishment gets worse, you only get the punishment that was around at the time you actually broke the law.

He was impeached by the House of Representatives, not the Senate.  According to the US Constitution, only the House can  impeach someone.  An impeachment is not an official punishment in itself, but once someone is impeached, the Constitution requires the Senate hold a trial to decide if the accused should be removed from office.  The result of the party-line vote in the Senate was not to remove Clinton because Republicans did not have the 2/3 vote needed to remove him.

The best thing to do would be to send a message to your two senators. You can get their contact information by choosing your state from the pull-down menu at the site below.
