For example, a 5 panel drug test checks for 5 drugs, while a 10 panel drug screen checks for 10 drugs. A standard 5 panel drug urine test is the drug test most frequently used by government agencies and private employers.
While a member of the senate is called a senator, a representative is simply called a congressman or a congresswoman. However, collectively, both senators and representatives are also referred to as congressmen. The word Senate comes from the Latin word senate meaning old man.
Members of the House of Representatives serve two-year terms and are considered for reelection every even year. Senators however, serve six-year terms and elections to the Senate are staggered over even years so that only about 1/3 of the Senate is up for reelection during any election. How many members of Congress come from each state? Each state sends two Senators to represent their state in the U.S. Senate. However, in the House of Representatives, a stateâs representation is based on its population. For example, smaller states like Vermont and Delaware have one representative while large states like California have 53 representatives. Currently, the Michigan Congressional Delegation is composed of 14 representatives in the House and two Senators in the U.S. Senate.
