The structure of the new legislative branch was the subject of a heated debate, as delegates from Virginia and New Jersey both submitted proposals. The Virginia Plan called for a bicameral (two-house) legislature in which the number of representatives each state had would depend on the stateâs population.
West Virginia has a bicameral Legislature comprised of 134 members - 34 Senators and 100 Delegates. They are part-time, citizen lawmakers elected by the people. Representing 17 districts, members of the Senate serve four-year terms with half of those seats up for election every two years. The presiding officer is the President who is formally elected by the Senate membership. In addition to Senate oversight duties, the President is the second ranking constitutional officer in West Virginia. He or she succeeds the office of Governor in the event of a vacancy.
