House of Representatives (US)

The U.S. House of Representatives is one of the two chambers of Congress, responsible for making federal laws. It is composed of 435 members, called Representatives, who are elected to represent specific districts within each state. The number of Representatives per state is based on its population. The House initiates revenue and spending bills, and works alongside the Senate to create legislation, oversee the executive branch, and represent the interests of their constituents. The House operates with rules to debate and pass laws efficiently, and its members serve two-year terms, reflecting immediate public opinion.
