Which chamber of Congress has staggered terms?

Social Studies

Burka [1]3 years ago

The United States Congress has two chambers: the House of Representatives (ften referred to simply as "the House") and the Senate. The House does not have staggered terms: every single member of the House of Representatives is elected to a two-year term, and all of the seats in the House are voted on at the same time.    

The Senate, however, does have staggered terms. Senators are elected to six-year terms, but only a third of the seats in the Senate are up for election in a given election year. Federal election years are held on even years (2010, 2012, 2014, etc.), and on any given year only about a third of Senators will face reelection. This framers of the Constitution designed the Senate this way to make sure there was some continuity from one Congress to the next.

sergejj [24]

Answer: Because the janitor is aware of your plight, the first thing to consider is this being a trick to extort you or to waste your time. After considering it to be a trick, you still have to consider it to be true. This makes it a game of 50:50 chance ( that is equal chance to loss or win).

To approach this situation, you have to define an agreement with the janitor. The agreement should be "send me the chemistry master and I will pay you after I have written the exam to confirm it is actually a chemistry master or pay you 1/10 of your amount if it is not, to compensate your efforts". After sending this agreement, you should focused on your studies like you're not expecting a positive response from him.

Negotiation should not be involved in the agreement, as it will waste your time of studies.
