The Senate: Introductory Business

[Continential]

- How is seniority being determined here? Does "length of continuous service" carry over from when we previously served in the House or the old Senate, or are we resetting the clock based on the order in which all of us swore in this session?

3.) The Dean of the Senate is defined as the serving Senator, who is not the President pro Tempore, with the longest continuous service in the Senate in his or her present stint of service. For the purposes of this clause, continuous service begins at the moment of swearing-in in the first term of the stint of service. The Dean of the Senate may pass the title, powers and responsibilities of the Dean of the Senate, to the next longest serving Senator for any reason whatsoever.

This should be self explanatory as it says that "continuous service begins at the moment of swearing-in in the first term of the stint of service."

4.) Veto Override and Redraft proceedings shall not be conducted in a slot and thus not subjected to any limits on the amount of legislation on the floor, but shall be conducted in their original threads. If a redraft or override comes to the Senate from the House, it shall be administered in its original thread for that chamber with the same Presiding Officer.

Something I noticed while glancing over the text is that this mentioned the House.
