Legislators are elected by the people to serve as their representative voice in government. The West Virginia Legislature is a citizen legislature -- meaning the members are not full-time legislators, but ordinary citizens who hold other jobs when the Legislature is not meeting. Because the Legislature is comprised of two bodies, the Senate and the House of Delegates, it is called “bicameral.” The Legislative Oath of Office “I do solemnly swear that I will support the Constitution of the State of West Virginia, and faithfully discharge the duties of Senator (or Delegate) according to the best of my ability. I will not accept nor receive, directly nor indirectly, any money or other valuable thing from any corporation, company or person for any vote or influence I may give or withhold, as Senator (or Delegate) on any bill, resolution or appropriation, or for any act I may do or perform as Senator (or Delegate).” 2011 Membership Directory p. 3 Clark S.
