While reading these posts, you may notice that I mention the House of Representatives or the Senate very specifically. You may wonder "what's the difference? What does it matter if it's presented to either one?" Here are some key differences between the H.R. and the Senate.
- The House of Representatives is made of members, elected according to population. The Senate has two members from each state, regardless of population.
- The House of Representatives has the exclusive power to impeach government officials and to pass financial bills, while the Senate has the sole rights to the advice and consent powers.
- Though the H.R. can impeach, the impeached official can go up in the Senate for trial.
