Why is the legislative branch of the government often called the peoples branch?

The US Congress has over 500 members in the House of Representatives and another hundred members in the Senate, as compared to the two people, the President and vice President, who are elected to the executive branch. Because there are so many of them, elected from specific districts, these members of Congress are more closely in touch with their constituents. The President would simply not have the time to be that closely in touch with the entire population of the US. And the judicial branch is mostly appointed, rather than elected, and thus is even less in touch with the voters.
