In theory, the members of Congress represent the citizens of the United States who live in their district.  In reality, special interest groups of all types have much more influence over the day-to-day decisions that Congress persons make.

You'd be surprised.  Members of Congress spend lots of time in their district.  All of them maintain homes there, and (unlike Senators who run for reelection every six years) members of Congress are continually involved in permanent fundraising and community outreach in their districts.

You mean like Democrats and Republicans? They both take an oath of office that says they are to represent ALL the people. That they will do what is best for the WHOLE country. And yet it seems they are only interested in representing the people who voted for them. And even them no more then they think it will take to keep them voting for them.

Your question needs some clarification, I think.\n\nCongressmen and Senators are elected, not appointed by the President.\n\nLocal STATE representatives(Congressmen/Senators)  get sent to their STATE capitols and US Reps get sent to Washington, DC after they have been elected by the ELECTORATE, which is YOU, the voter.\n\nYour right to vote is guaranteed by the U.S. Constitution. \n\n*** Let Freedom Ring\n\nHappy Thanksgiving.

I'm not going to repeat what's already been mentioned, but the Senate is considered the 'upper house' of Congress, and the House of Representatives is considered the 'lower house,' which is why the Senate has special roles (like passing treaties, etc.).

"Collect taxes" is probably the answer you're looking for, but in fact "E) All of the above" is the correct answer. People have rights; Congress receives authority from the People.

Congressmen are the representatives in the U.S. House of Representatives, whereas senators are the Representatives of the U.S. Senate.  Congressmen are elected once every two years.

All citizens of the United States reside in a congressional district.  Members of Congress work for the voters in that district.  US protectorates and the District of Columbia generally have nonvoting observer representation in Congress.  I'm sure jaded people think Congress only works for big corporations or rich people, but most congressmen really are concerned with the interests of constituents in their district.  After all, money helps win elections but only to the extent it translates to votes.

The legislative - Congress (House of Representatives and Senate)\n\nAlthough the current Executive branch likes to think they are above the laws that Congress makes  ;)

The United States House of Representatives (or simply the House) is one of the two chambers of the United States Congress, the other being the Senate. Each state is represented in the House proportionally to its population, and is entitled to at least one Representative. The total number of Representatives is currently fixed at 435 by the Reapportionment Act of 1929, though Congress has the authority to change that number. Each Representative serves for a two-year term and may be re-elected an unlimited number of times. The presiding officer of the House is known as the Speaker, and is elected by the members. The present House delegations by state are shown in the article List of U.S. states by population.\n\nThe bicameral Congress arose from the desire of the Founders to create a "house of the people" that would represent public opinion, balanced by a more deliberative Senate that would represent the governments of the individual states, and would be less susceptible to variations of mass sentiment. The House is often considered the "lower house," and the Senate as the "upper house," although the United States Constitution does not use such language. The Constitution provides that the approval of both houses is necessary for the passage of legislation.\n\nThe House is generally considered a more partisan chamber than the Senate. Many of the Founding Fathers intended the Senate (whose members were originally chosen by the state legislatures) to be a check on the popularly elected House, just as the House was to be a check on the Senate. The "advice and consent" powers (such as the power to approve treaties) were therefore granted to the Senate alone. The House was granted its own exclusive powers: the power to initiate revenue bills, impeach officials, and elect the President in electoral college deadlocks. The Senate, however, can propose amendments to spending bills, try impeached officials, and choose the Vice President in an electoral college deadlock. The Senate and its members generally have greater prestige than the House since Senators serve longer terms (six years) in a smaller body and (in most cases) represent larger constituencies than Representatives.\n\nThe House meets in the south wing of the United States Capitol.

Read Article I of the Constitution. Congress is composed of two chambers.\n\nThe House of Representaties, allocated by population in each state (currently totaling 435 members), and the Senate allocated evenly by state (2 per state, thus 100 members).\n\nAny general law must pass both chambers of Congress to be enacted.

A.There was a president of the congress, but not a president of the country.

they're the majority based on the number of seats held in the house or senate, which both is and isn't representative of public opinion. if there are more democrats in congress, the majority leader is a democrat and the minority leader a republican, and vice versa. (it's unusual, btw, for one party to control the white house, the house, AND the senate all at the same time, like we have now and probably not for long...) hope this helps! :)

The Senate and the House of Representatives are the two branches of our congress.  They propose and enact laws for the U S.
