House of Representatives

Our Congress consists of the Senate and House of Representatives. Every state has two Senators and as many House of Representatives as there are for the amount of people in them. For the state of North Carolina our two Senators are Richard Burr and Thom Tillis. The House of Representative that we have may vary because of the different districts, the one that I have is Craig Horn. Craig Horn has been in the House since 2011 and is up for reelection in 2016. Prior to getting elected for the House of Representative he was Maryland’s Council Member. He is married to Lorraine and they have four children. Craig is a member of the Republican Party. I think the interest groups that will like Craig Horn are CREST and National Riffle Association. CREST is an environmental group that focuses on energy efficiency, renewable energy and sustainable technology information which is one of the topics that Craig supports. Craig also supports citizens having the right to own a gun which is why National Riffle Association believes in. An interest group that will not be for Craig is anyone that has to do with allowing women to say whether or not they can have an abortion, however Craig is not completely against it in cases such as rape. I think that Craig has a future of being reelected again because of some of his viewpoints. Some people are for individuals being able to have guns and helping our environment. He does not seem like too much of a hard core conservative that will get Democrats…

“We expect our senators and representatives to act as spokespersons for the different economic, ethnic, racial, religious, occupational, and political interest in our state and district” (Vogler,p.6).

The Structure of the House of Representatives The House of Representatives is made up of five levels of influential power, decreasing in power as the levels increase.

Congress is made up the House of Representatives and senate. The house of representatives currently has four hundred and thirty five members. The number of representatives per state are decided by the population of the state. Member of the house of representative are up for election every two year meaning they are always “campaigning”.

The Senate and the House of Representatives both have very critical positions in the process of writing and introducing a bill. The senate starts off this task by having the bill read aloud on the floor. By introducing the bill to the floor ultimately leads to the bill to become dropped into the bill hopper.

When the Framers thought of how to create a legislature they included some differences. The House and Senate work together but are also diverse in terms of function, organization, and stature. The functions of both chambers are alike in some ways as well as different. For example, the primary duties of both houses are lawmaking, representing their constituents, and…

Significant differences between the Senate and the House of Representatives are serving time after the members have been elected. Senators are elected to six year terms, members of the House are elected for two years term. There is no limit to the number of the members of either chamber of the conference that can be used. Perhaps because they are short term, House representatives were more likely to be re-elected senator. The requirements are different for elected House of Representatives and…

The differences between the House of Representatives and the Senate are many. First, the Senate is much smaller than the House. There are 100 seats in the Senate and 435 seats in the House.

The House mainly initiates all revenue based legislation while the Senate has the power to approve…
