What is bigger the senate or the house?

Answer 1

• The Senate has 100 members, two per state. The House has 435, based roughly on states' population as of the most recent census.

• Senators serve a six-year term; representatives serve a two-year term, making them more responsive to (and responsible for) voter confidence.

• According to the U.S. Constitution, senators must be at least 30 years old; representatives can serve starting at age 25.

• Only the House can propose revenue and taxation bills; only they can determine whether a government official can be tried for crimes against the United States.

• Only the Senate can confirm treaties, and confirm or reject presidential appointees. Only they can conduct a trial against government officials for crimes against the U.S. (and only after the House authorizes them to do so).

• The president of the House is known as the Speaker, and is elected by a majority vote of the representatives of the political party in power (known as the majority party) at the time. The Speaker of the House is second in line in matters of presidential succession.

• The president of the Senate is the Vice President of the United States, who is by definition first in line in matters of presidential succession. However, the Vice President only votes to break a tie.

• In day-to-day matters, the head of the Senate is known as the President pro tempore of the Senate; and while it is technically an elected position, it is usually reserved for the most senior (longest-serving) senator of the majority party. The President pro tempore is third in line in matters of presidential succession.

Answer 2

The US Senate is composed of two senators from each state. The House of Representatives is composed of a representative from each congressional district. In July of 2014, there were 100 senators and 435 representatives.

Answer 3

There is one big difference. The House of Representatives has 435 members. Each state has a different amount of representatives based on population. The Senate has 100 members, 2 from each state. They usually both do the same job.

Answer 4

1.The House of Representatives:Its members are not most responsible to the people who elect them because they serve for only two years.

2.The senate: Senators are elected for longer terms than House members, six-years.

Answer 5

The House has 435 members. The number of members from each state varies according to population but every state has at least one. House members serve for just two years and all come up for election at the same time, in even-numbered year.

The Senate has 100 members, two from each state. Its members serve 6-year terms, timed so that 1/3 of their terms expire with every House election.

Answer 6

The senate has an even number of members and so a tie vote is possible, if this happens, the vice president who is not a member of the senator can vote to break the tie.

The House has an odd number of members and so a tie can not occur if every member votes.

The leader of the House is a member elected by the membership and can vote .

Answer 7

The House has 435 members and the Senate 100. So in answer to your question, the House.
