United States Congress

The United States Congress is the bicameral legislature of the United States, divided into the United States House of Representatives and the United States Senate. Every 2 years, every member of it is up for re-election.

Any bill that reaches Congress must receive approval from both houses before passing to the President. The President then chooses to either Veto it, forcing it to go through Congress again, or for him to sign it into law. With each two years, a new Congress forms. The historical Congresses are:

Interim United States Congress

First United States Congress

Second United States Congress

Third United States Congress

Fourth United States Congress

Fifth United States Congress
