US House of Representatives

The United States House of Representatives is one of the two chambers of the United States Congress, with the other being the Senate. Its main function is to pass federal legislation, which must then be approved by the Senate before it can become law. The House also has the power to impeach government officials, including the President, and to initiate revenue-related bills. Additionally, the House has oversight responsibilities, such as monitoring the executive branch and investigating issues of national importance. Members of the House are elected by the American people every two years, with each representative serving a term of two years. The House is led by the Speaker of the House, who is elected by the members of the chamber.
