<P> During the 2011 - 2015 term, the State Senate was made up of 35 Democrats and 12 Republicans . Republicans gained two seats (District 6 in Baltimore County and District 29 in Calvert and St. Mary's counties) in the elections held on November 4, 2014 . Democrats maintain a super-majority in the chamber despite these changes . Article II, Section 17 (a) of the Maryland Constitution specifies it takes a three - fifths vote of both chambers to override a veto, which is 29 votes in the State Senate . The rules of the Senate also permit members to limit debate by a three - fifths majority vote, meaning Republicans would need to gain five additional seats, for a total of 19, in order to sustain a veto or filibuster legislation . </P> <P> The below table reflects the current leadership of the Maryland State Senate as of February 24, 2017 . </P> <Table> <Tr> <Th> Position </Th> <Th> Name </Th> <Th> Party </Th> <Th> District </Th> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> President of the Senate </Td> <Td> Miller, Jr., Thomas V.
