  • The Illinois Senate is the upper chamber of the Illinois General Assembly, the legislative branch of the government of the state of Illinois in the United States. The body was created by the first state constitution adopted in 1818. The Illinois Senate is made up of 59 senators elected from individual legislative districts determined by population. Under the Illinois Constitution of 1970, senators are divided into three groups, each group having a two-year term at a different part of the decade between censuses, with the rest of the decade being taken up by two four-year terms. Depending on the election year, roughly one-third, two-thirds, or all Senate seats may be contested. In contrast, the Illinois House of Representatives is made up of 118 members with its entire membership elected to two-year terms. House districts are formed by dividing each Senate district in half. The Illinois Senate convenes at the Illinois State Capitol in Springfield, Illinois. Its first official working day is the second Wednesday of January each year. Its primary duties are to pass bills into law, approve the state budget, confirm appointments to state departments and agencies, act on federal constitutional amendments and propose constitutional amendments for Illinois. It also has the power to override gubernatorial vetoes through a three-fifths majority vote. The Illinois Senate tries impeachments made by the House of Representatives, and can convict impeached officers by a two-thirds vote. Voting in the Illinois Senate is done by members pushing one of three buttons. Unlike most states, the Illinois Senate allows members to vote yes, no, or present. It takes 30 affirmative votes to pass legislation during final action. The number of negative votes does not matter. Therefore the use of the present vote has the same effect as voting no. The Democratic Party of Illinois currently holds a majority in the Illinois Senate.
  • Der Senat von Illinois (Illinois State Senate) ist das Oberhaus der Illinois General Assembly, der Legislative des US-Bundesstaates Illinois. Die Kammer wurde 1818 nach der Annahme der ersten Staatsverfassung von Illinois geschaffen. Die Parlamentskammer setzt sich aus 59 Senatoren zusammen, die jeweils einen Wahldistrikt repräsentieren. Um den kompletten Austausch der Senatoren auf einmal zu vermeiden, wurden 1970 infolge der Staatsverfassung von Illinois die Senatoren in drei Gruppen unterteilt. Jede Gruppe hat eine zweijährige Amtszeit innerhalb eines unterschiedlichen Dekadenteils zwischen den Volkszählungen, wobei den Rest der Dekade zwei vierjährige Amtszeiten ausmachen. Im Gegensatz dazu wird das Repräsentantenhaus von Illinois mit seinen 118 Abgeordneten jeweils für zweijährige Amtszeiten gewählt. Die Wahlbezirke der Abgeordneten wurden durch die Halbierung der Senatswahlbezirke gebildet. Es existiert keine Beschränkung der Amtszeiten. Der Sitzungssaal des Senats befindet sich gemeinsam mit dem Repräsentantenhaus im Illinois State Capitol in der Hauptstadt Springfield. Der erste offizielle Arbeitstag jedes Jahr ist der zweite Mittwoch im Januar.

  • Senatet er førstekammeret i Generalforsamlingen i Illinois i USA. Det ble opprettet med den første delstatsgrunnloven i 1818 og består av 59 senatorer fra enmannsdistrikter. Senatet møter i delstatskapitolen i Springfield. Den første offisielle arbeidsdagen i en sesjon er den andre onsdagen i januar hvert år. Hovedoppgavene består i å vedta lover, godkjenne delstatsbudsjettet, samtykke til guvernørens embetsutnevnelser, foreslå endringer i delstatsgrunnloven og ratifisere føderale grunnlovsendringer. Senatet har også myndighet til å tilsidesette guvernørens veto med tre-femdels flertall. I tillegg blir riksrettssaker ført Senatet. Stemmegivning i Senatet foregår ved at medlemmene trykker en av tre knapper. Til forskjell fra de fleste delstater, tillater Senatet i Illinois at medlemmene stemmer enten «Ja», «Nei» eller «Tilstede». Det behøves 30 positive stemmer for å vedta lover. Antall negative stemmer har ingen betydning. Å stemme «Tilstede» har derfor samme virkning som «Nei».
