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.
