The Corintheian Congress is the legislative branch of the United States of Corintheia. Established by the constitution in April of 1796, it consists of two houses: the House of Representatives and the Senate. The Congress meets in the Capitol Building in the federal district of Augusta City. Congress has a total of 409 voting members: 365 representatives and 44 senators.
A new session of Congress starts every other year ending in an odd number on January 1st, the current congress is the 114th. With elections for Congress being held every other year on Election Day in an even-numbered year. The House of Representatives are elected to serve two-year terms and Senators are elected to serve six-year terms, with one-third of the Senate seats being up for election every two years. Representatives serve in a singlized constituency more known as a district. Congressional districts are redrawn every 10 years after a Census has been taken.
The number of seats in both chambers have varied over the years with the expanison of the country, when the Congress first met there were 55 Representatives and 24 Senators. In 1930, the 67th Congress passed a law to set the number of seats in the House of Representatives to its current number of 365. While Congress had routinely done this in the past to keep up with the growing population numbers, they did not include a sunset clause in the 1930 Congressional Reapportionment Act.
