Best Answer

The White House is the home of the US president. It does not have members as such. The president is very influential because he runs the executive branch of government, approves or disapproves legislation, commands all military forces, serves as the head of state, leads his party and is arguably the most powerful person in the US. All persons who have access to the president gain influence from that access.

The house of congress with the fewest members?

In the United States government, we have two Houses in the Legislative branch. These two Houses are the House of Representatives and the Congress. By definition, Congress has only two members per state (so, 100 members). The House of Representatives has the number of members based on the population of the states they represent. I think they have around 500 members, but don't quote me on that. So, if I understand what you're asking, the Congress is the house with the least members. I hope that helps. U.S. SENATE,ONLY 100 MEMBERS


When did the White House officially take the name White House?

It was after the War of 1812. In this time people didn't paint houses because paint was so expensive, but after the White House was burned by the British to cover the burn marks it was painted white. It was a natural thing for people to refer to it as the White House from that point since it was the only painted house in the area. The reference stuck so now we know it as the White House .
