What does the Constitution say about the size of the House of Representatives?
Best answer is to read the document, but basically the House shall not exceed 435 voting members (there are nonvoting members such as Guam, Puerto Rico, etc....). Representatives are from districts which are redrawn every 10 years after the Census (which is also mandated by the Constitution). States with greater populations such as California, thus have more representatives.
