Every two years, _________ of the seats in the US Senate are up for reelection?
  1. One-fourth
  2. One-third
  3. One-half
  4. All of them.
  5. The Senate works on a 4-year cycle, not a 2-year cycle.
Explanation
Answer: B - A Senate term is six years long and every two years one-third of the seats are up for reelection. It is sometimes more than this because of retirements or deaths. The idea behind rotating the seats is to make sure that a majority of the senators at any given time have a significant amount of experience at the job.
