Mexican Congress

The Mexican Congress is the country's federal legislative body, responsible for making laws, approving budgets, and overseeing the government. It consists of two chambers: the Senate, with 128 members representing the states and Mexico City, and the Chamber of Deputies, with 500 members representing the population. Senators serve six-year terms, while deputies serve three-year terms. Congress debates and passes legislation on national issues, ensuring a system of checks and balances with the executive branch. It plays a vital role in shaping Mexico’s laws, policies, and governance.
