# Brief Explanations:
The United States Congress consists of the House of Representatives and the Senate. For the House of Representatives: There are 435 total members. The term - length is 2 years. There is no limit to serving or running for election again. Seats are apportioned based on state population. The formal qualifications include being at least 25 years old, a U.S. citizen for at least 7 years, and an inhabitant of the state they are elected in. The presiding officer is the Speaker of the House. For the Senate: There are 100 total members (2 per state). The term - length is 6 years. There is no limit to serving or running for election again. Seats are not apportioned as each state has 2 senators. The formal qualifications include being at least 30 years old, a U.S. citizen for at least 9 years, and an inhabitant of the state they are elected in. The presiding officer is the Vice - President of the United States (though the President pro tempore often presides in practice).
