The Missouri Senate is the upper chamber of the Missouri General Assembly.

It has
34 members, representing districts with an average population of 174,000.[1] Its
members serve four-year terms, with half the seats being up for election every two
years. The Senate chooses a President Pro-tem to serve in the absence of the
Lieutenant Governor or when he shall have to exercise the office of Governor of the
State of Missouri if there is a vacancy in that office due to death, resignation,
impeachment, or incapacitation.[2] The Missouri State Congressional Term Limits
Amendment, also known as Amendment 12, was on the November 3, 1992 ballot in
Missouri as an initiated constitutional amendment, where it was approved. The
measure amended the Constitution to prohibit a person from serving more than eight
years in either the state house of representatives or state senate, or a total of
sixteen years in both houses.
