Because the number of representatives depend on the population of the state.
Congress is divided into the Senate and the House of Representatives. In the House of Representatives there are 435 and in the senate there are 100. To be in the House of Representatives you must be at least 25 years old and an American citizen for 7 years.
Tennessee has 11 electoral votes, so it has 9 representatives.
There are two chambers - the House of Representatives and the Senate. The Senate has two representatives from each state so are 100. The House of Representatives members numbers vary because they are based on population.
There are three branches of the U.S. Government: * the executive which is the president in the White Houlse * the legislative which is the House of Representatives and the Senate * the Judicial which is the Supreme Court and U.S. Courts So there are no Congressional Representatives assigned to the White House. If by "representatives" you mean lobbyists, there are so many I wouldn't hazard a guess.
Technically speaking, this was put into the Constitution simply so that they could know how many representatives in the House of Representatives each state would have.
Virginia has 11 members in the US House of Representatives and two US Senators. So it has 13 electoral votes.
You can run for office as many times as you like. Where an office has term limits, you may be limited in how many terms you can serve, but that is different from running for election.The US House of Representatives is not subject to term limits so a Representative can serve as many terms as his or her district will elect him or her to.(There is no limit to the number of times a person may run for House of Representatives.)
As of my last update, there are 118 female members in the U.S. House of Representatives. This number represents a historic high in terms of female representation in the House. The total number of seats in the House is 435, so female representatives make up approximately 27% of the total membership.
The amount of representatives is a function based on population. I believe the most populous state is california, so they have the most representatives. How many that is I don't know.
Louisiana had 7 representatives in the US House of Representatives in 2005.However, in the reapportionment that followed the US Census of 2010, it lost one Congressional District. That meant it lost one representative. So, Louisiana will have 6 representatives from 2010 until the next Census and reapportionment in 2020, when there may or may not be another change.
As states are given a number of Representatives to represent them in the U.S. House of Representatives based on their population (with a minimum of one), it is not clear how many more members would be added to the role in the House. There are currently 435 Representatives, so adding 5 states would push the total membership to 440 as a minimum. A link can be found below.
