'''Congress (Congress of the United States)''' (a word derived from the Latin "congressum", from "congredior", meaning "to come together") is the term for the legislative body of the [[United States of America]], composed of the [[House of Representatives]] and [[United States Senate|Senate]]. In the current 118th Congress (2023-24), the House is controlled by the [[Republican Party]] and the Senate is controlled by the [[Democrat Party]]. The reelection rate for congressional incumbents is absurdly high, typically over 90%, despite persistently rock-bottom low approval ratings, typically around 20%.
