1. The United States Senate will be made up of two senators from each state who are elected by the people of that state in an election. Each Senator will have one vote, will serve for six years, and will be qualified to serve in such a role. If a Senate position opens, the governor of the state shall either call an election or appoint a new Senator if they have that power.
2. The purpose of this amendment is to say that the people elect their senators through popular vote in elections. It also says that if an opening appears, the governor either gets an emergency election to get a new one or he appoints a temporary one.
3. "Executive authority"--the government of the state; "temporary appointment"-- an emergency election of a senator to fill a vacancy
4. a. This amendment was created because the times were changing, and up until this time state legislatures just agreed on and appointed Senators. With this amendment, people could now vote for them.
b. In our elections in November, we vote to elect our Senators and Representatives as well.
c. There are not many issues involving this currently, as we all vote and have our say.
