Kitty [74]

The only people who may introduce a bill in the house of representatives are members of the house of representatives.

Each representative, also known as a member of the House of Representatives or House of Representatives, is elected for a two-year term to serve the people of a particular constituency. Representatives introduce bills and resolutions, propose amendments, and participate in committees.

United States Representatives each represent a portion of a state known as a congressional district, with an average population of 700,000 her. Senators, on the other hand, represent the entire state.  

Senators represent the state as a whole, while House representatives represent individual constituencies. The number of districts in each state is determined by the state's population. Every state has at least one representative of her in Congress. The House and Senate have evolved into very different institutions.
