what are the two parts of congress?

The two parts of Congress are the Senate and the House of Representatives.

Quick Scoop

• Congress is the national legislature of the United States, and it is bicameral , meaning it has two chambers.

• The Senate is the upper chamber, where each state gets two senators, no matter how big or small the state is.

• The House of Representatives is the lower chamber, where the number of members a state gets is based on its population.

Both the Senate and the House must agree on the same bill for it to become law, so the two parts of Congress share power and have to work together.
