The Congress of Guatemala is the legislative branch of the government of Guatemala. It is a unicameral body, meaning it has only one chamber, and consists of 160 members known as deputies. These deputies are elected for a four-year term and are responsible for creating laws, approving budgets, and overseeing the executive branch. The Congress meets in the capital city, Guatemala City, and plays a crucial role in the country's political system. It operates under a system of representative democracy, where the deputies represent the interests of their constituents. The Congress also has the power to approve treaties and ratify international agreements.
