Journal 10/16 Why do you think the Senate and House of Representatives have different qualifications?

Legislative Branch

CONGRESS SENATE = 100 delegates 2 representatives per state House of Representatives = 435 delegates # based on state population

How they are re-elected…

Legislative Branch – Two Houses Senate –# of people = 100 –# per state = 2 –Requirements Age 30+ yrs Citizenship 9 yrs Residency Requirements – live in that state –Length of Term = 6 yrs –Elected to Office by the voters of that state

Legislative Branch – Two Houses House of Representatives –# of people = 435 –# per state = at least 1; based on pop. –Requirements Age 25+ yrs Citizenship 7 yrs Residency Requirements – live in that state –Length of Term = 2 yrs –Elected to Office by the voters of their district

Our 18 Congressional Districts, 2010 Census -We had 19 in the 2000 census, but our population didn’t grow at the same rate as other states so we technically lost a seat…

Why has the Number of Reps Increased?

Legislative Branch Jobs and Responsibilities –Passes/Make Laws Override President’s veto Approves treaties Can impeach the Pres. Prints money Declares war (stop)

Distributing Representation Members are redistributed every 10 years based on census info gathered in each state How to Calculate State Representatives: 1.State population = X country’s population 2. X × 435 = _______

Distributing Representation EX: pop. of Illinois in 2000= 12,400,000 in 2010= 12,800,000 pop. of US in 2000= 281,400,000 in 2010= 308,700, State pop/US pop=.044*435= 19.1 (19) 2010…
