U.S. House of Representatives

The United States House of Representatives, commonly referred to as the "House," is the lower house of the bicameral U.S. Congress, the upper house being the U.S. Senate. The composition and powers of the House and the Senate are established in Article One of the Constitution (which does not use the terms "upper" and "lower"). Each state receives representation in the House in proportion to its population but is entitled to at least one Representative.
