California currently has 53 House members. Since the number of representatives a state has is determined by population, California naturally has the most. Meanwhile Wyoming only has one, due to their small population.

In the United States Congress, meetings are conducted according to the rules of each house. These rules are generally longstanding and well established, though they're subject to be changed by leadership and majority vote.

If a bill is rejected by either the House of Representatives or the Senate, the bill dies. However there is a "Motion to Recommit" meaning the bill be brought back to the Committee it originated from in order to change the bill. This happens occasionally.

Reapportionment occurs every 10 years, following the constitutionally-mandated US census. The last census was in 2000. Reapportionment is done on a state-by-state basis; most states redrew their maps in 2001, while Georgia and Texas (famously) redrew their maps twice, in 2001 and again in 2003 after control of the legislature had switched from the Democrats to the Republicans. The next reapportionment will be after the 2010 census; for most states this means in 2011.

The number of representative in the U.S. House of Representatives is fixed at 435. Every 10 years the U.S. Census Bureau takes a census of the population in each state. The 435 representatives in the U.S. House of Representatives is then reapportioned among the 50 states based on the population in each state.

Each State has two Senators, and at last check there are 50 States, so 100 Senators

Senators serve terms of six years each; the terms are staggered so that approximately one-third of the seats are up for election every two years. This was achieved by dividing the senators of the 1st Congress into thirds (called classes), where the terms of one-third expired after two years, the terms of another third expired after four, and the terms of the last third expired after six years. This arrangement is also implemented following the admission of new states into the union. The staggering of terms has been arranged such that both seats from a given state are not contested in the same general election, except when a mid-term vacancy is being filled. Current senators whose six-year terms will expire on January 3, 2011, belong to Class III.

Perhaps the Speaker's term runs concurrent with his or her term as Member of the House of Representatives. That's pretty close. To be specific, a member of the House serves for two years per term, without restriction on the number of terms they may serve. This means, that as long as the Speaker continues to be voted Speaker of the House, and remains a member of the House, their term limit is their life.

Technically, the vice president is the president of the Senate, but vice presidents rarely attend Senate sessions; instead, the president pro tempore acts as the chairperson of the senate in the vice president's frequent absences.
