∙ 12y agoYes. The Congress fixes the total number of representatives in the House by statute. It can amend that statute anytime to increase that number. At present it is set at 435 Congress then apportions so many of that 435 to the various states based on their populations. The number of representatives has changed in the past, especially when new states were admitted to the Union and they had to have the appropriate number of representatives.

∙ 13y agoNo. The number of members in the House of Representatives is currently fixed by legislation at 435. The apportionment of representatives for each state may change after the federal government conducts a decennial (10-year) census if there has been a statistically significant population shift over the past decade.
The number of representatives is proportional: each state is allocated a certain number of seats in the House of Representatives based on the state's population as a percentage of the total US population. When the House is reapportioned, some states may gain representatives while others lose them.
