Answer:

First Tuesday after the first Monday in November on even numbered years

Explanation:

The United States House of Representatives is the lower house and together with the Senate form the legislature of the United States. Elections are held every even-numbered year. The election is held on the first Thursday after the first Monday in November and by law each member must be elected from a single-member district.

Before 1840s each state had separate elections but they however all fell in November. The electors for the Electoral College had to meet in the individual states on the first Wednesday of December and according to federal law, an election had to be held 34 days before the meeting. November was chosen because of the agrarian society. The harvest ended in November and people were allowed to travel to polling stations. This changed when railroads and transporting mail was used in the 1840s.

The Parabellum-Pistole (Pistol Parabellum), is a semiautomatic pistol operated by recoil. There were three types of general-purpose pistols: revolvers, automatic pistols, and semiautomatic pistols. The rifle, became the most crucial infantry weapon, of the battlefields. The gases made their appearance sowing horror in the trenches, and the tank was undoubtedly one of the great novelties of the Great War.</span>
