The U. S. Congress
1. Introduction
The U. S. Constitution provided for the legislative branch to be composed of two chambers: the House of
Representatives and the Senate. While each has its own duties and responsibilities, they are equal in their governing
power.
11. Body
The United States House of Representatives is made up of elected representatives from all over the country. The
number of representatives is set by law at 435. Every ten years, after the national census, or a counting of the
population, the states are assigned how many representatives they will have. States with large populations have more
representatives than those with small populations. California, for example, has 53 representatives, while South Dakota
has one. Each representative serves for two years.
The House of Representatives has unique power All laws about revenue spending, or tax income spending, must start
in the House. The House also is the only chamber that can impeach a U. S. official, such as president or vice president.
Impeaching is the bringing of formal charges against an elected official.
The U. S. Senate is the other chamber of Congress. Two senators are elected from each state; it doesn't matter how big
or small the state is, each has two senators. Since there are 50 states, there are 100 voting senators. Each senator
serves for six years.
The Senate has powers that the House does not. It may agree to foreign treaties, and it may confirm, or approve,
appointments by the President. If the House impeaches an official, it is the Senate that holds a trial.
