Term and Current Composition
- See main article: LXI Legislature of the Mexican Congress
In Spanish, it is conventional to refer to each Legislature of the Senate by the Roman numeral of its term.
The current session (whose term lasts from 2009 to 2012) is known as the LXI Legislatura (61st Legislature).
Senators are elected to serve during two legislatures of the Mexican Chamber of Deputies. Thus, current Senators (who were elected in the general election of July 2, 2006) will serve during the 60th and 61st Legislatures of the Chamber of Deputies.

Famous quotes containing the words term, current and/or composition:
“... feminism is a political term and it must be recognized as such: it is political in women’s terms. What are these terms? Essentially it means making connections: between personal power and economic power, between domestic oppression and labor exploitation, between plants and chemicals, feelings and theories; it means making connections between our inside worlds and the outside world.”
—Anica Vesel Mander, U.S. author and feminist, and Anne Kent Rush (b. 1945)
“You are the current of the frozen stream,
Shadow invisible, ambushed and vigilant flame.”
—Allen Tate (1899–1979)
“The naive notion that a mother naturally acquires the complex skills of childrearing simply because she has given birth now seems as absurd to me as enrolling in a nine-month class in composition and imagining that at the end of the course you are now prepared to begin writing War and Peace.”
—Mary Kay Blakely (20th century)
