Pennsylvania State Senate

Uncommon card · No. 122759

The Pennsylvania State Senate is the upper house of the bicameral Pennsylvania General Assembly, the state legislature of Pennsylvania. Senators are elected for four-year terms, staggered such that half of the seats are contested every two years. Even- and odd-numbered district seats are contested in separate election years. The State Senate meets in the State Capitol building in Harrisburg and has been meeting since 1791. The president of the Senate is the lieutenant governor, who has no vote except to break a tie. The president pro tempore becomes the lieutenant governor in the event of the sitting lieutenant governor's removal, resignation, or death. In this case the president pro tempore and lieutenant governor would be the same person.
