A Congressperson is an elected member of the United States Congress, which is the legislative branch of the federal government. Congresspersons represent specific areas known as districts and are responsible for making laws, debating policies, and addressing the needs of their constituents. They can be part of either the House of Representatives or the Senate. In the House of Representatives, Congresspersons serve two-year terms, while Senators serve six-year terms. Each Congressperson works on various committees that focus on specific issues, such as education, healthcare, or finance, helping to shape legislation that affects the entire country.
