The United States Congress has two chambers, one called the Senate and the other called the House of Representatives (or “House” for short) which share the responsibilities of the legislative process to create federal statutory law. They occupy opposite ends of the Capitol Building.

About the Senate

The United States’s 50 states each elect two senators for staggered six-year terms. A senator represents between 0.6 and 40 million people, depending on their state’s population.

The day-to-day activities of the Senate are controlled largely by the political party holding the most seats, called the “majority party.” Here is a count of senators by party:

Includes 3 Independents who caucus with the Democrats

The District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, and the U.S.’s four other island territories — American Samoa, Guam, the Northern Mariana Islands, and the U.S. Virgin Islands — are not represented in the Senate.

The table below shows a breakdown of how many years the senators have been serving in office.

50% of senators are men over the age of 60, while only 7% of senators are women 60 years old or younger.

About the House of Representatives

The United States is also divided into 435 congressional districts with a population of about 760,000 each. Each district elects a representative to the House of Representatives for a two-year term.

As in the Senate, the day-to-day activities of the House are controlled by the “majority party.” Here is a count of representatives by party:

Puerto Rico’s delegate is called the Resident Commissioner.
