Essentially, the houses have an equal amount of legislative power (overall). However, each house has certain previledges denied to the other. For example, the House of Representatives is the only house that can propose revenue legislation (bills involving taxes). On the other hand, the Senate has much looser rules than the House. For instance, senators can debate bills as long as they please, while congressmen have limited speech. Actually, senators can even talk about other issues to the floor, unrelated to the bill, as the floor is deliberating. This is often used as a stalling tactic and is referred to a filibuster. Furthermore, there are only 100 senators, so the legislative power is more condensed, and senators have 6 year terms while congressmen only have 2 year terms. But as I said in the beginning, the houses in reality have equivalent legislative power.

Totalling 535, there are 100 members of the Senate (two Senators respresenting each state of the Union) and 435 members of the House of Representatives (duly-elected Congressmen).
The House of Representatives has more members because they are awarded to the state based on population. Senate gets two per state no matter what.
House because the house of represenatives has 435 N the senate has100
the house of represantatives has more members
The House of Representatives.
House of Representatives
By far, the group in Congress that has more members is the U.S House of Representatives. The Senate only has 100 members. The House, however, has 435 voting members.
Congress is a term that describes both the Senate and the House, when combined.
The members of Congress are Representatives (in the House of Representatives) and Senators (in the Senate).
There are 535 members of the U.S. Congress. Congress is bicameral -- the Senate and the House of Representatives. The Senate has 100 voting members and the House of Representatives has 435 members.
The congress
The Senate, each state elects two to represent them.
The Senate
No, a House has 435 members a senate has 100 members
House of representatives: 435 Senate: 100 Congress: 535
there are 100 members in senate and 435 members in the house of representatives so there are 535 total members in congress :]
The House has more members, because the senate only has 100 people in it, the house now has 435.
A bill must be introduced in the congress by the members of the congress.
