Elected by the Pennsylvania state legislature, Maclay received a nearly unanimous vote of 66-1 to begin his Senate service. When the Senate convened in 1789, the newly elected senators drew lots to see which Senate "class" they would join. Maclay became a member of Class 1, whose members served an initial two-year term. Maclay’s Senate service was short but memorable.ver menos
