Argentine Congress

The Argentine Congress is the country's legislative branch, responsible for creating, debating, and passing laws. It is a bicameral institution, meaning it has two chambers: the Senate, with 72 members representing provinces and autonomous cities, and the Chamber of Deputies, with 257 members based on population. Congress plays a key role in shaping national policy, approving budgets, and overseeing the executive branch. Members are elected by popular vote for fixed terms. The Congress is central to Argentina’s democratic system, providing a balance of power and representing diverse regional and political interests.
