Congress of the United States: Information from Answers.com (8092 words)
Congress of the United States , the legislative branch of the federal government, instituted (1789) by Article 1 of the Constitution of the United States , which prescribes its membership and defines its powers. Congress plays an important role in the system of checks and balances; in fact, the two-house (bicameral) organization of Congress acts as an internal check, for each house must separately vote to pass a bill for it to become a law. The Vice President of the United States is ex officio the President of the Senate; he or she has no vote except in the case of a tie.
