american government foundations a unit 2: the legislative branch

In the United States of America, the legislative branch is in the hands of Congress.

The United States Congress is the supreme holder of the legislative branch in America. Its seat is located in the Capitol, in Washington DC.

The Congress consists of two chambers: the Senate and the House of Representatives.  Both the senators and the representatives are directly elected. Each of the 435 representatives in the House represent a congressional district and is elected for a two-year term. The districts and seats are divided among the states on the basis of the population determined in the most recent census. In addition, the House has six non-voting members, five from US overseas territories and one from the District of Columbia. Unlike the House, the number of senators per state is the same regardless of the population. Every state is represented by two senators. They are elected for a term of six years. The election of senators is arranged in such a way that about a third of the seats are renewed every two years.
