A. Senators generally need a wide range of knowledge.

The Senate is uniquely responsible for advice and consent including ratification of treaties and confirmation of Cabinet Secretaries, Supreme Court justices, federal judges among others. Compared to the lower house (House of Representatives), the Senate more deliberative and prestigious.
