The U.S. Congress is a bicameral legislature with two chambers: the House of Representatives and the Senate. The House, with 435 members, initiates tax-related bills and oversees the executive, while the Senate, with 100 members, confirms appointments and ratifies treaties. Both play roles in impeachment, and House members, who have no term limits, face frequent elections and receive an annual salary of $174,000.
