Each state has two seats in the senate.They are elected every six years.Each senator has one vote.The two senators will come from the party with the most members in the state legislatures.
When there are vacancies in the senate,the state that has the vacancies should hold an election to select a new senator.Before the election,the legislature of the state can appoint another person to fill in the vacancy temporarily.
No one can use this amendment to affect the election of any senators.
