answer:

1-the united states congress is the bicameral legislature of the federal government of the united states, and consists of two chambers: the house of representatives and the senate. the congress meets in the united states capitol in washington, d.c.

2-every two years

3-1) be at least twenty-five years old; (2) have been a citizen of the united states for the past seven years; and (3) be (at the time of the election) an inhabitant of the state they represent.

4-the total number of voting representatives is fixed by law at 435.

5-members of the house of representatives serve two-year terms and are considered for reelection every even year. senators however, serve six-year terms and elections to the senate are staggered over even years so that only about 1/3 of the senate is up for reelection during any election.

6-the methods for filling vacancies in the u.s. congress vary greatly, and for good reason, between the senate and the house of representatives.

7-the constitution gives the house of representatives the sole power to impeach an official, and it makes the senate the sole court for impeachment trials. the power of impeachment is limited to removal from office but also provides for a removed officer to be disqualified from holding future office.

8-has two senators

9-a senator's term of office is six years

10-age (at least thirty years of age); u.s. citizenship (at least nine years); and residency in the state a senator represents at time of election.

11- charles grassley.

12-after hearing the charges, the senate usually deliberates in private. the constitution requires a two-thirds super majority to convict a person being impeached. the senate enters judgment on its decision, whether that be to convict or acquit, and a copy of the judgment is filed with the secretary of state.

13-the constitution (article i, section 4) originally provided that "the congress shall assemble at least once in every year, and such meeting shall be on the first monday in december, unless they shall by law appoint a different day."

14-a constitutional right to reject a decision or proposal made by a law-making body.

15-the necessary and proper clause specifies that congress has the power to make laws “necessary and proper for carrying into execution” the powers conferred by the constitution on the federal government. the clause has long been hotly debated.

16-through legislative debate and compromise, the u.s. congress makes laws that influence our daily lives. it holds hearings to inform the legislative process, conducts investigations to oversee the executive branch, and serves as the voice of the people and the states in the federal government.

17-the minimum number of members of an assembly or society that must be present at any of its meetings to make the proceedings of that meeting valid.
