Atlantic
More rivers flow into the Atlantic than the Pacific.
The Pacific Ocean, mainly due to Alaska. However, just counting the contiguous US, then the answer is the Atlantic.

There are no oceans in the US... do you mean rivers? In any case, the East, Hudson, Mississippi and Susquehanna rivers alike flow into the Atlantic.
Continental Divide
Lots of rivers flow into the Pacific Ocean.Not too many rivers flow into the Pacific Ocean from the United States, because we have mountain ranges that coalesce many streams / rivers into a fewer number of rivers than can cut through / around the ranges. As compared to the Atlantic Ocean and the various "Gulfs of".Additionally, much of the area of the United States that drains to the Pacific Ocean is arrid, due in large part to the aforesaid mountains.AnswerIt is bordered by mountains.
Surely they all do, I know some flow into other rivers, but they all reach the sea in one form or another.
in the ocean
The Mississippi, the Missouri, and the Ohio Rivers flow south.
The Pacific Ocean, mainly due to Alaska. However, just counting the contiguous US, then the answer is the Atlantic.
This is an ambiguous question as there are all kinds of way we can describe river flows. For example, in the US there is what we call the "continental divide." It's located in the western US mountains. And on the eastern side of that divide all the rivers eventually empty into the Gulf of Mexico or the Atlantic Ocean. In other words, all the rivers east of the continental divide flow generally eastward. And as you might guess, all the rivers west of the divide flow westward into the Pacific Ocean. But then there are river specific flow patterns as well. They all flow downhill because their flow is based on the pull of gravity. But how they flow, fast, slowly, smoothly, rapids, eddies, and such depends on the topography that the river runs through. And man-made dams and levees can alter the natural flow of rivers as well.
