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.
