The House of Representatives is not a "who." (It is not one person.) It is a "what"-- it can refer to a building in Washington DC, and it can also be the name for the group of men and women who have been elected to serve as representatives. The House of Representatives is a part of the Legislative Branch of Congress; there is the Senate (100 senators), and there is the House of Representatives (435 representatives), and they make the laws. They are part of the federal government.
In the United States, voters elect people to represent them in the government. The men and women who are sent to congress to be Representatives will serve a term of two years and then they can run for re-election. They do their work in a very historical building which is sometimes just called "The House"-- for example: The House will vote on the budget in two weeks.
