The forum identified several requirements for the government and parliament of England:
Congress in the States consists of two chambers:lower and upper. The lower one is called the House of Representatives. There are 435 seats here, and this number remains the same every year, although the Congress has the right to change it. Representatives can be re-elected an unlimited number of times. The head of the House is the speaker, who is not elected by the Americans, but by the deputies. Here the main function - the adoption of federal laws.
The Senate - the upper house - consists of 100 deputies.From one state at a time can work only two people. Senators are elected for a term of 6 years by citizens of the state. The main task is the appointment of personnel and control over the country.
The constitution of America does not divide Congress into two chambers. It includes their general goals of work, duties and rights.
The bill in Congress is adopted byvoting first in the House of Representatives, later in the Senate. And only after the approval of the majority of deputies, the decision made by the parliament is submitted for consideration by the head of state. He is obliged to approve or reject the bill in 10 days, i.e. apply suspensive veto. In case of non-acceptance, he returns to the House of Representatives again. If more than two thirds of the votes are cast for him, he is sent to the Senate, and the whole process is repeated. With a positive result, the bill becomes a federal law without the necessary signature of the president. The US Congress is designed in such a way that only he is able to pass any law; the president has no direct right to this.

With the passage of the Constitutional Convention wasIt was decided that the Congress should be given more serious powers. For example, to give the opportunity to fully oversee some problems that are difficult to solve in a particular state. After such a statement, the deputies were divided into two sides: those who supported the idea, and those who said that it was too great a luxury. Since 1800, the Congress has been located in the Capitol building (in Washington). 2014 showed that the Parliament of America is one of the most influential in world politics.
