The Congress is made up of the House of Representatives and the Senate. These two legislative bodies also make up the electoral college.
In the US, Congress is divided into "Houses" (sometimes called chambers). Both houses of Congress -- the US Senate and the US House of Representatives -- are part of the Legislative Branch of government. The Senate and House of Representatives make laws together. Under most circumstances, they have to agree by a simple majority vote.
