Senate of Liberia

The Senate is the upper house of the bicamerallegislative branch of Liberia, and together with the House of Representatives comprises the Legislature of Liberia. Each of the fifteen counties is represented by two senators elected to serve staggered nine-year terms. The Senate meets at the Capitol Building in Monrovia.

The Senate is modeled in part on the United States Senate and shares legislative authority with the House of Representatives. Both chambers must pass legislation before it is sent to the president for approval. The Senate also exercises exclusive powers, including confirming presidential appointments and trying impeachments.
