The United States Congress is the bicamerall legislature of the federal government of the United States of America, consisting of the Senste and the House of representatives. The Congress meets in the United State's capital in Washington D.C.

Both senators and representatives are chosen through direct election. Each of the 435 members of the House of Representatives represents a district and serves a two-year term. House seats areappointed among the states by population. The 100 Senators serve staggered six-year terms. Each state has two senators, regardless of population. Every two years, approximately one-third of the Senate is elected at a time. Re-election rates for incumbents often exceed 90%.
