What is the term of Senate Minority Leader? what is the budget for the minority party?


Also- what is their role in congress? Does the senate minority leader have support staff or assistants? how many?|||1/3 of the Senate is up for election every two years. The party (Democrat/Republican) that has the most members, is the majority. So the Senate minority leader could become the Senate majority leader, if his/her party takes control after 2 years.





They are the party leader that attempts to get other party members to vote along the party line.





All Senators have a staff and assistants. The majority and minority leaders both have "whips" (party members elected as whips) who are the ones who work with party members inividually to get them to vote with the party.
