CultureCongress is one of the three branches of the US federal government, the legislative branch. Congress is bicameral, which means that it has two houses, the senate and the House of Representatives. The main job of Congress is making laws. Before a new law can be made, both houses have to pass it, and it must then have the approval of the President. In a system of government based on a series of checks and balances, the two houses of Congress act as a check on each other, as well as together forming a check on the powers of the executive branch, especially the President.
