Members of the Senate serve four year terms without Term Limits . Term limits were declared unconstitutional by the Wyoming Supreme Court in 2004 , overturning a decade-old law that had restricted Senators to three terms (twelve years). Like other Upper House s of State and territorial legislatures and the federal U.S. Senate , the Wyoming Senate can confirm or reject Gubernatorial appointments to the state Cabinet , commissions, boards, or justices to the Wyoming Supreme Court . LEADERSHIP Wyoming , along with Arizona , Maine , and Oregon , is one of the four U.S. State s to have abolished the Office of the Lieutenant Governor , a position which for most Upper House s of State Legislatures and indeed for the U.S. Congress (with the Vice President ) is the head of the legislative body. Instead, a separate position of Senate President is in place, removed from the Wyoming Executive Branch . The current Senate President is Republican John Schiffer of District 22 ( Kaycee ).
