Definition1/6
Members of Congress have a lot of burdens as our
representatives. Legislative abilities include being able to write
and propose new bills to the Clerk of the House of Representatives
or the Senate (whichever their respective body is). Members of
Congress can also be a member of committees which review
legislature before bringing it to the whole of the House or Senate;
when they're a member of the respective committee (there are many,
many committees), they will review the bill. After they've read
over it they can revise it with the group, decide (and vote) to
propose the bill to the House or Senate, or decide to 'kill' the
bill-- which means voting for it not to be proposed (basically
saying that the bill would be a waste of time and resources).
After going through the committee process- and every member of
Congress is assigned to atleast one committee- the House and Senate
members have the right to vote for, against, or abstain for any
legislation being proposed. A Congress member also has the right to
speak for an alloted amount of time (given by the Speaker of the
House, which is Boehner right now) to address concerns they may
have about a bill that is being presented. They may also
filibuster- which is a way of delaying a vote by talking
incessantly... one Congress member was made famous for reading
aloud a cookbook to delay a vote!
Congress members also can campaign, meet with their
constituents, and always need to be on call for any emergency
meetings (usually these happen in times of fiscal/economical
crises, natural disasters, or in times of war).

What HR mean in front of Senate or House Bill numbers eg HR 3162
H.R. is often mistaken to mean House Resolution. It doesn't. It
means simply "House Of Representatives"..
