The Peruvian Congress is the legislative branch of the government of Peru. It is a unicameral body, meaning it has only one chamber, consisting of 130 members known as congressmen. They are elected for five-year terms and are responsible for creating laws, approving the national budget, and overseeing the executive branch. The Congress meets in the capital city, Lima, and plays a crucial role in the country's political system. It has the power to impeach the president and can also initiate constitutional reforms. The Congress operates under a system of checks and balances to ensure accountability within the government.
