The legislative branch of the U.S. government consists of the Senate and the House of Representatives. The Senate has 100 members: 2 senators from each of the 50 states. The House has Approx 435 members; the representatives are elected based on the population of each state. To be a senator, you must be at least 30 years old, a resident of the state you represent, and a US citizen for at least nine years. To be a Representative, you must be at least 25 years old, a resendent of the state you represent, and a US citizen foe at least seven years. Senators serve terms of six years; Representative serve terms of two years. (They can run for their position as many times as they like, I.e. there are no term limits as there are for the presidency). The two jobs that only the Senate can do are approve or reject anyone the President recommends for a job in government, and act as a jury in an impeachment trial. The two jobes that only the House can do: start bills which concern taxes (Article I, Section 7 of the US Constitution) , and decide if a government official can be impeached. The president of the the Senate is the Vice-President, and in his absence, the president pro tempore. The leader of the House is the Speaker of the House. Hope this answers your question.
