Article I of the US Constitution establishes the legislative branch, consisting of the Senate and the House of Representatives.

The primary function of the legislative branch is to make laws, also known as statutes, that govern the country.

There are 435 members in the House of Representatives, with each state having a number of representatives based on its population.

Members of the House of Representatives serve two-year terms, meaning they must run for re-election every two years.

There are 100 members in the Senate, with each state having two senators regardless of its population.

Senators serve six-year terms, with one-third of the Senate up for re-election every two years.

The President has the power to sign bills into law, veto bills, and propose legislation to Congress.

A bill must go through all of these steps in order to become a law.

The Supreme Court has the power to interpret laws, declare laws unconstitutional, and review the constitutionality of laws.

The filibuster is a tactic used in the Senate to delay or prevent a vote on a bill, allowing for more debate, study, or negotiation.

The Speaker of the House has the power to preside over the House of Representatives, appoint committee chairs, and control the flow of legislation.

The Majority Leader in the Senate has the power to lead the majority party, set the Senate's agenda, and control the flow of legislation.

The Minority Leader in the Senate has the power to lead the minority party, represent the views of the minority party, and hold the majority party accountable.

The committee system in Congress is designed to divide the workload, allow for more specialized consideration of legislation, and facilitate compromise and negotiation.

A joint resolution requires the President's signature to become law, while a concurrent resolution does not. A joint resolution is used to propose amendments to the Constitution, while a concurrent resolution is not. A joint resolution is used to express the sense of Congress on a particular issue, while a concurrent resolution is used to conduct the business of Congress.
