Congress of the United States - Facts, Information, and Encyclopedia Reference article (5154 words)
The Congress of the United States is the legislative branch of the federal government of the United States . 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. The speech is modeled on the Speech from the Throne given by the British monarch, and is mandated by the Constitution of the United States .
Congress of the United States. The Columbia Encyclopedia, Sixth Edition. 2001-05 (854 words)
The senators, two from each state , have six-year terms and were chosen by the state legislatures until 1913, when the Seventeenth Amendment, providing for their direct popular election, went into effect. The Senate is presided over by the vice president of the United States , who has no part in its deliberations and may vote only in case of a tie; in his absence his duties are assumed by a president pro tempore, elected by the Senate. States that are entitled only to one (Alaska, Delaware , Montana, North Dakota, South Dakota, Vermont , and Wyoming, by the 1990 census) have a representative at large, i.e., one elected by the whole state .
