Answer:

The House has several powers assigned exclusively to it, including the power to initiate revenue bills, impeach federal officials, and elect the President in the case of an electoral college tie.

Members of the House are elected every two years and must be 25 years of age, a U.S. citizen for at least seven years, and a resident of the state (but not necessarily the district) they represent.

The Senate has the sole power to confirm those of the President’s appointments that require consent, and to ratify treaties. There are, however, two exceptions to this rule: The House must also approve appointments to the Vice Presidency as well as any treaty that involves foreign trade. The Senate also tries impeachment cases for federal officials referred to it by the House.

In order to pass legislation and send it to the President for his signature, both the House and the Senate must pass the same bill by majority vote. If the President vetoes a bill, they may override his veto by passing the bill again in each chamber with at least two-thirds of each body voting in favor

Answer:

All the US states have representatives at the House with the most populous states having more representatives than the least populated ones; for example, California has fifty-two representatives while Vermont and Alaska have one representative each. The House has 435 members while the Senate has 100 members. Due to this arrangement, the Senate has more flexibility in its rules. The senator who has the podium can speak for as long as he/she wants which means that the minority can control the Senate. The House of Representatives has more structured instructions on what the members can talk about and for how long. The House has more members than the Senate; therefore, all the discussions must proceed more quickly for everything to be completed in time.

lisabon 2012 [21]

No, I would not expect the borders of a gerrymandered district to appear on a map as a rectangle of circle or some other recognizable shape because first of all, geographic shapes cannot be compared to simple geometric shapes and a “gerrymandered” district would have an odd and bizarre shape, just like what happened when Gov. Elbridge Gerry redrew the Senate districts map – it looked like a salamander.
