Ok, let's start with election requirements.

In order to be a representitive of the house you have to be 25 years old or older, and you have to have been a US citizen for 7 years or more, and you have to live in the state you are elected as representitive for.

In order to be elected to the senate you have to be 30 years old or older, you have to be a US citizen for 9 years or more, and you have to live in the state you are elected as senator for.

How they operate?

The house of representitives has 435 members and their job is to pass laws in collaboration with senate, and they have the perogative to impeech the president if seen necessary. All of the representitives vote and choose the speaker of the house.l Representitives serve fore only 2 years at a time.

The senate has only 100 members (2 per state) and they collaborate with the house on making and passing laws. If a president is impeeched, the senate acts as the judge and trys the president in court. The vice president is considered the president of the senate but he only makes a decision when a issue is voted 50

  • 50 he has to make the deciding vote. Senators serve for a 6 year

term.

When electing a new president, who wins the election is determined by who has more electoral votes. Each state gets a certain number of electoral votes to give to a candidate, and that number is calculated by the amount of senators in the state + the anount of house representitives.

I hope this helped you out
