Undo revision 248861 by Special:Contributions/9820 (User talk:9820) -- The House is still proportioned based upon population; if you believe that is in error, go to talk
Line 6: Line 6:     
==Houses==
 
==Houses==
Congress is divided into two houses, the [[Senate]] and the [[House of Representatives]].  The Senate gives equal weight for each state, with each state electing 2 senators who serve 6 year terms.  The House was originally proportioned based upon population, with each House member serving a 2 year term.  The House and Senate must agree for [[legislation]] to be enacted.  The [[President]] can [[veto]] that legislation which can then be overridden by a 2/3rds majority of both Houses of Congress.
