Congresses

Congress is the legislative branch of the U.S. government, responsible for making laws. It consists of two parts: the Senate and the House of Representatives. Senators represent states, with each state having two members, serving six-year terms. House members represent districts within states, with the number from each state based on population, serving two-year terms. Congress debates, amends, and votes on laws, budgets, and policies, playing a crucial role in shaping the nation's laws and overseeing the executive branch. It ensures government accountability and represents the diverse interests of citizens across the country.
