The 435 U.S. House of Representatives, along with the 100 who serve in the Senate, composes the legislature of the United States.
Elections to the United States House of Representatives were held on November 3, 2020, and since they serve two-year terms, all 435 will be up for reelection in 2022.
A member of the House is referred to as a Representative, Congressman, or Congresswoman.
Members of the U.S. House of Representatives each represent a portion of their state known as a Congressional District, which averages 700,000 people. Senators, however, represent the entire state.
Under Article 1, Section 2 of the Constitution, in the House of Representatives, a state’s representation is based on its population as measured by the U.S. Census.
Each state, however, is entitled to at least one Representative. For example, smaller states like Vermont and Delaware have one representative, while larger states like California have 53 representatives.
The Constitution does not provide for the representation of the District of Columbia or the territories of Puerto Rico, Guam, American Samoa, the Northern Marina Islands, and the U.S. Virgin Islands, although each is represented by one non-voting delegate. They have a voice on the floor but have no voting power.
The House is charged with the passage of federal legislation, otherwise known as bills, which, after concurrence by the Senate, are sent to the President for consideration.
The House also has the exclusive power to initiate bills for raising revenue, to impeach officials, and to choose the President in the event that a presidential candidate fails to get a majority of the Electoral College votes.
The House of Representatives is informally referred to as the “lower” house, while the Senate is referred to as the “upper” house.
The party with the majority of seats in the House is known as the majority party.
In the House of Representatives, the majority party holds significant power to draft chamber rules and schedule bills to reach the floor for debate and voting.
In most cases, House rules will limit debate so that important legislation can be passed during one legislative business day.
To run for House of Representatives, he or she must be at least 25 years of age, have been a citizen of the United States for at least 7 years, and at the time of the election be a resident of the state they represent. Members are not required to live in the district they represent, but they traditionally do.
Of the current 435 members of the House, 222 are Democrats, 211 are Republicans, and there are two vacancies (Louisiana District 5, and New York District 22).
