Question 31 of 128 American Government
Who does a U.S. senator represent?
Answers USCIS accepts
- Citizens of their state
- People of their state
Give any one of these answers at your interview.
A U.S. senator represents the citizens, or people, of their state.
What it means
Each senator speaks for the whole state, not just one district. That is different from House members, who represent a district.
Say “citizens of their state” or “people of their state.”
Memory tip: Senator = whole state.
Quiz yourself
