Congress includes both the House and the Senate. GOP has control of House already, but with the incapacitations has also control of the Senate possibly. Headline stands.
All legislative Powers herein granted shall be vested in a Congress of the United States, which shall consist of a Senate and House of Representatives.
Senators are almost exclusively called Senator. A member of the House is usually called Representative so and so but also sometimes called Congressman.> >
It seems to me that there is a concerted effort by Team Evil for decades now to break down the people's understanding of our government and its rules, etc.
For example, "Our Democracy". Never "Our Republic".
"Congressmen" should be called "Representatives".
The Senate is the Upper Chamber of the Congress, or one could say of The Legislature/The Legislative Branch. Not of the House. The House of Representatives is the Lower Chamber. So it should be "Senator" and "Representative". In theory I guess one could call a Senator a Congressman. In practice I have never heard that and I expect one would be "corrected" if one were to say that. Because for whatever reason (that I do not know), Representatives are now called Congressmen, but Senators are still called Senators.
The Senate is the upper chamber, but of Congress - not the House. The House is the lower chamber. Senate + House = Congress.
They call representatives Congressmen because Houseor or Houseman sounds stupid. Senator is from WAY back during Roman times. I could have made up part of the second paragraph but I'll roll with it.
Every state has two Senators (The upper house).
The Representatives are determined by the population of the state.
50 states = 100 Senators
There are 435 Representatives.
They are completely different from each other. (Well they are supposed to be different)
The census determines the population and how the 435 Representatives will be divided between the states.
Both the Senate and the house are part of the legislative branch of the Federal Government.
The other two branches are the Executive (President)
and
Judicial (courts)
All three are supposed to be equal.
No, you're not wrong. The titles are correct. A "congressman" serves in the House. A "senator" serves in the Senate. Both are houses of Congress, so colloquially, you'll hear "congressmen" used as a collective to refer to both, but their official titles of address are specific.
Completely wrong ideas about crucial information like this makes me want a law that puts every single schoolteacher who failed to do their job over the past, what? 50 years? - in jail. Especially the ones that were imparting commie propaganda in place of real education. Oh, and make them pay back their salaries to the taxpayers who paid them.
The American public school system is truly abysmal. But some people are just dumb, and it wouldn't matter how hard the teacher worked if the student was as dumb as a box of hair.
And there's really no reason why an adult can't go look this information up themself.
True, but that's something else they should have been taught by about third grade. I'm no longer cutting any slack for teachers who didn't - and don't - do what they have been paid to do. Nor for the administrators who allowed that to occur.
I know for a fact that even a severely brain damaged child can be taught to their capacity and sometimes the level of that capacity can be surprising. And I don't put the poster who didn't know anything about Congress anywhere near the category of box of hair dumb.

Shouldn't we just ditch those titles and call the majority of them (house or senate) what they really are?
"Scumbags"
You haven't done that already?
u/#correct
The House is the House. And the Senate is the Senate. Both the H and the S are called The Congress.
