Its an information i got from a book regarding Congress in the US.
And i'll like a real translator. Not from a website.
Thanks in advance.
Here it is.....
Washington DC, the US federal capital, is where both the White House and Capitol are situated. the capitol houses congress, the legislative branch of government, which consists of the House of
Representatives and the senate. As in Italy, the two houses have more or less the same powers and their main duty is of course, to make laws.
The Senate has 100 members, two from each state, however big or small and whatever the population. Senators are elected for six-year terms in office. Every two years a third of them comes up for election so that there can be no drastic changes in one election. Among its various powers is that of acting as jury in case of impeachment such as during scandalslike watergate and irangate.
