The legislative branch of the United States is a bicameral Congress. The function of the House of Representatives is performed by the Chamber of Deputies, in which member states can delegate a total of 435 representatives in proportion to their population, whose terms last for two years. In the current election, the American people vote for the entire House of Representatives. The Senate, i.e. the Senate, is made up of 100 members, each member state delegating two senators to the House. Senators have a term of 6 years, a third of whom are replaced every two years, in which case there are 35 seats waiting to be filled.
