So, yeah. Zoe is awesome in her return to House of Cards. But, that doesn't necessarily mean she's going to come back time and time again for my personal pleasure. In fact, Kate Mara is only in the one episode of House of Cards Season 4.
Here are some numbers... After nearly 230 years, the US Senate has more than 1855 distinct former members. The term length for Senators is 6 years (compared with the typical length of 2 years for representatives). Here is the histogram of term durations for all past Senators. Note: some people served multiple, non-consecutive terms, or changed parties, which counts in this data as a separate term. You can clearly see the spikes of 1, 2, ... 6 terms. The average term is 7.6 years (median 6 years) for all past Senators.
According to the constitution, each senator is elected to a six-year term. There are congressional elections every two years. When the constitution was first put into practiceâ¦, one third of the first group of senators served only two years, the second third, four years, and the final third six years. This way, from then on, all senators would serve six-year terms, and one third of them would be up for election every two years.
