Family,
Can anyone shed some light on the US political system? I am reading Bill Clinton's book and I am having a hard time getting my head around the electorial process of both the Senate and Congress. What powers do they have? What are their functions? How many members of each? How are the states/populations represented in each? Thanx in advance! T |

Each state gets 2 Senators US Senate.gov total of 100
State population decides how many Congressman are allotted each state. US House total of 435. Basically, the houses are responsible for writing bills, but they aren't law until the president signs them. There is so much more, I'm sure those web pages will help. |
