Congress

Congress is the legislative branch of the United States government, responsible for making laws. It consists of two houses: the Senate and the House of Representatives. The Senate has 100 members, two from each state, serving six-year terms. The House of Representatives has 435 members, with representatives based on state populations, serving two-year terms. Congress holds the power to create federal laws, approve budgets, and conduct oversight of the executive branch. It also plays a crucial role in representing the interests of the American people and balancing the powers of government.
