The Congress has two parts, which are more or less equal in power. They are known as the House of Representatives and the Senate. The House of Representatives is larger than the Senate, whose 100 members (two from each state) serve for six years. The 435 members of the House are elected every two years, and the number from each state is determined by the population of the state. For example, California, which has a large population, has forty-three representatives, while the state of Nevada has only one.The House and the Senate are divided into small groups which take care of special matters such as education or foreign affairs. The most important work of the Congress is often done in these groups, which are called committees.According to the Constitution of the United State, a Senator must be at least thirty years old and a citizen of the United States for nine years at the time of his election. To be elected to the House a person must be twenty-five years old and a United States citizen for seven years. At the present time, members of Congress include businessmen, farmers, teachers, and especially lawyers.In general, Senators are better known than representatives because they are fewer in number and serve for a longer time.
