How long is a congressional representative's term?

Answer 1

2 years (House) 6 years (Senate)

One term for a member of the House of Representatives is 2 years. this was set up so to get the members of the House of Representatives to act quickly on a matter. All 435 members of the House are up for reelection every 2 years. This makes the House much more responsive to public opinion.

The Framers weren't completely sold on the ability of public whims to govern so the Senate's terms are 6 years (staggered election every 2 years) making them less responsive to their local constituents (not quite so worried about reelection) and more able to make decisions that might better benefit national interests or have long term benefits and short term costs that would not win them any election points on a local level.
