Our legislature is broken up in 2 different groups. One is the House of Representatives and one is the Senate. Sometimes the House is simply referred to as Congress and sometimes Congress is used to refer to both groups.

Basically, there are 2 groups because of states rights. Each state gets a certain amount of representatives in the House based on population, and each state gets 2 representatives in the Senate regardless of population. This is done so that States with small populations don't have their rights over run by larger states.

In order for a law to pass, it has to pass in both sections of congress.

How did I know Coco would jump through hoops at an opportunity to explain something to someone even after a link was provided?

Writing 3 small paragraphs counts as jumping through a hoop? K

Listen Amy, perception is reality. If you feel I'm trying to insult you, then I guess I am. However, I was just pointing out that whenever you get the opportunity to act like a pretentious douche, you're going to be all over that like a monkey on a banana.

LOL Answering a question is a pretentious douche. K.

I think you're right. I think perception is reality. I think you're so retarded that answering a question on something you learn in middle school government seems like pretension to you and somehow makes you feel inferior. I'm sorry for making you feel dumb, John.

Have a nice day.

Their job is to spend as much money as they can in their districts to buy as many votes as they can to get re-elected.

Guess what. they do it with our tax dollars!

I have repeatedly said those who are chronic abusers of the welfare system. Not those who use it for what it's meant for. Short term stop-gap usages.

When will you stop being an ignorant piece of shit?
