2nd session of the 84th LEGISLATURE OF WEST VIRGINIA Under the provisions of the West Virginia Constitution, the Legislature is the lawmaking branch of state government. Legislators are elected by the people to serve as their representative voice in government.
The West Virginia Legislature is a citizen legislature -- meaning the members are not full-time legislators, but ordinary citizens who hold other jobs when the Legislature is not meeting.
Because the Legislature is comprised of two bodies, the Senate and the House of Delegates, it is called bicameral.
THE LEGISLATIVE OATH OF OFFICE
“I do solemnly swear that I will support the Constitution of the United States and the State of West Virginia, and faithfully discharge the duties of Senator (or Delegate) according to the best of my ability. I will not accept nor receive, directly nor indirectly, any money or other valuable thing from any corporation, company or person for any vote or influence I may give or withhold, as Senator (or Delegate) on any bill, resolution or appropriation, or for any act I may do or perform as Senator (or Delegate).”
THE WEST VIRGINIA STATE SENATE
Representing 17 senatorial districts, the Senate is comprised of 34 members. Senators serve four-year terms with half of those seats up for election every two years.
To be eligible for election to the Senate, a person must be a United States citizen, at least 25-years-old, a resident of the state for at least five years and a resident of his or her district or county for at least one year.

SENATE PRESIDENT
The presiding officer of the Senate is the President. He or she is formally elected by the membership of the Senate at the beginning of the first legislative session following a general election.
The authority of the President includes the oversight and management of all legislative activities within the Senate.
In addition to duties as the presiding officer of the Senate, the President also is the state’s Lieutenant Governor and assumes the duties of the office of Governor in the event a vacancy should occur in that office.
