Praxis II World and US History

Answer: A - U.S. senators are elected to six-year terms, the longest term of any elected position in the federal government. The terms limits in the different bodies of government vary to keep the government from experiencing a massive overhaul in personnel in one election. Some officials have two-year terms and others have four-year terms; the staggered effect keeps all elected officials from coming up for re-election simultaneously. Senators may serve an unlimited number of six-year terms.
