the legislative branch (Again)

                                                                        Part 1

Sorry about last time so i am doing the legislative branch again 

The Legislative Branch is also called the Congress. There are two parts that make up Congress: the House of Representatives and the Senate. 

The Legislative Branch is the part of the government that writes up and votes on laws, also called legislation. Other powers of the Congress include declaring war, confirming Presidential appointments for groups like the Supreme Court and the Cabinet, and investigating power. 

House of Representatives 

There are 435 total Representatives in the House. Each state has a different number of representatives depending on their total population. States with more people get more representatives. 

Representatives are elected every two years. They must be 25 years old, have been a US citizen for at least 7 years, and live in the state they represent. 
The Speaker of the House is the leader of the House of Representative. The House elects the member they want to be the leader. The Speaker is third in line in succession to the President.

                            THE LEGISLATIVE BRANCH

The legislative branch is made up of the two houses of Congress—the Senate and the House of Representatives. The most important duty of the legislative branch is to make laws. Laws are written, discussed and voted on in Congress.

There are 100 senators in the Senate, two from each state. Senators are elected by their states and serve six-year terms. The Vice President of the U.S. is considered the head of the Senate, but does not vote in the Senate unless there is a tie. The Senate approves nominations made by the President to the Cabinet, the Supreme Court, federal courts and other posts. The Senate must ratify all treaties by a two-thirds vote.
