I was under the impression it was staggered, as in my country.

The 100 Senators are roughly staggered (est 33) in every Congression election (every two years). Wherein the entire 435 House of Representatives is up for election every two years).

The Senate is staggered. A third is up for election every two years (although we will have more than a third this time since we’ve had several senators appointed due to vacancies, Hillary’s, Obama’s, Biden’s, and Salazar’s seats)

But the entire House of Representatives is up for re-election every two years, without exception.
