Congressional seats refer to the positions held by members of the United States Congress, which is divided into two chambers: the House of Representatives and the Senate. Each state is allocated a certain number of seats in the House based on its population, while each state has two seats in the Senate, regardless of size. The total number of congressional seats in the House is fixed at 435, while the Senate has 100 seats. These seats are crucial for representing the interests of citizens and making federal laws that affect the entire country.
