Like what is the congress job? Do you work with? How many congress all there? Oh, that's great questions? So there are four hundred and the STA so and that I could be wrong because you know, we just lost the congressman, so you know, California just lost one. It's all it's always burst off the census. So, uh, it's around four fifty. And then we have the and then we have senates. So there's a hundred senators. Each state gets two senators. That the House is always based off
of population. California just lost. We just lost the congressman. So we're waiting for reds lost them like death nobody meaning no, meaning that we're getting there, taking away one of our Congress. But now we're gonna have wet because the biggest state, a bigger state, you have Congress based
on population. So I feel bad for Portland's main Probably yeah, there there are there are states that have like just a few, you know, so it's always based on your on the population, you know, So probably ain't gotten anybody know You're Texas, Florida, California, They're gonna have the most because they have the best population, you know, I said New York, right, Texas, New York and Florida and so forth.
So those those four states have the most Congress. They take like those states almost take up half of Congress. So now okay, so and and what is a conqueror's job. Yeah, Congress are who actually passed the laws for the country. So this is this is what you for the country. A state actually for the country. So the state actually has its own senators, the state has its governor, it
has its mayor, and so forth. So Congress, you're you're also working for the state as well, but you're passing um, you're passing stuff for the countrys That's why Congress goes to Each congressman goes to the capital d C two days every single week. So I would have to fly to d C two days a week every week. So if for a fifty congressmen died there, you go two days a week every week, every week, and senators off all hud senators go three days a week. What that many?
I mean that often? Yes, because you have to you have to meet, and you have to, you know, talk about all the issues. And we've got to talk about pay raise. You know, every time they vote on something, they need everybody to vote on that. So if we're gonna raise the minimum wage, they need everybody there to vote. And you have to pass laws, pass bills. The Congress is actually who writes the bill. So it goes to Congress first and then it goes to Senate, and then
this president signs it. So everybody thinks the president does a lot, but the president actually just the signer people who make the laws. Our Congress.
