The House has 435 members and each state gets a certain number of representatives based on their population. Each state gets two senators. This was a compromise way back when so that large population states woudn't be under represented when small states also got two senators.

House members run every two years; Senators every six.

The Senate is considered the more deliberative and stately of the two. The House tends to be a rough and tumble place.

Both houses consider legislation; legislation can originate in either house, but it must also be approved in the other house and differences must be worked out in conference.

If there is a tie in the Senate, the vice president can break the tie.

The House can vote to impeach a president; the Senate tries him or her.

Members of the house are called representatives, serve 2 years and the number per state is determined by the states population (total 435). Members of the senate are called Senators, they serve 6 years, and each state has 2 (total 100).

Each state has 2 senators (designed to give small states an equal voice). Each state has a number of house representatives proportionate to its population.

of direction it incredibly is tyranny!! it is likewise completely standard of legislations under Democrat management. they are going to violate their very own guidelines and checklist from the "convention Committee" an completely new bill that incredibly no one yet a small style of Democrats has seen then call for a vote on it with out letting anybody see it first. we are able to assume it incredibly is the case on account this is that if fact be told how Democrats in many cases legislate. President Obama's pledge to open up well-being care talks to C-SPAN's cameras grew to become into incredibly no longer something extra effective than a promise to do enterprise like Republicans continually did - and no one incredibly theory ANY Democrat could placed-up with that. Now watch as Democrats: > Say you're mendacity. > Blame Republicans. > Say you're stupid. > Say nyah nyah, we gained. > Equate a legislative function that as a count of regulation could desire to be public with another unrelated factor the place the regulation ensures privateness. > Say this bill this is incredibly ALL approximately tension and which they have seen NONE of = "offering well-being care" so that's solid that Democrats smash their very own guidelines to do it; that that's solid to dodge anybody understanding what they are as much as. Did I omit ANY Democrats' reaction?
