ive been looking for the number of african americans and whites on google but can not find it. what is the number of each in the house of representatives today? and the senate
There are relatively few people of color in Congress. I think there are about 40 members in the Black Caucus.
Or is there something else it refers to?
Both
i just wanted to know which one is higher..on levels of government?…..and which one would you guys rather be a member of?…..
i ment congress vs. Senate srry
The U.S. Congress consists of two bodies: The Senate, made up of two members from each state, and the House of Representatives, whose members are allocated to the States by population. Thus a populous but relatively small State like Rhode Island may elect as many representatives as a very large but thinly populated State like Montana.
To answer your question, I would personally rather be a member of the Senate than be President. He can’t do a thing unless a majority of both the Senate and the House agree to it, and Senators only have to stand for reelection every six years.
In the House of Representatives, I want to know the two people who are from Ohio.
Sorry dear, there are actually 18 members in the House of Representatives from Ohio:
1 Representative
Steven J. ‘Steve’ Chabot Republican
2 Representative
Jean Schmidt Republican
3 Representative
Michael R. Turner Republican
4 Representative
Michael G. Oxley Republican
5 Representative
Paul E. Gillmor Republican
6 Representative
Ted Strickland Democrat
7 Representative
David Lee ‘Dave’ Hobson Republican
8 Representative
John A. Boehner Republican
9 Representative
Marcy Kaptur Democrat
10 Representative
Dennis J. Kucinich Democrat
11 Representative
Stephanie Tubbs Jones Democrat
12 Representative
Patrick J. ‘Pat’ Tiberi Republican
13 Representative
Sherrod C. Brown Democrat
14 Representative
Steven C. LaTourette Republican
15 Representative
Deborah D. Pryce Republican
16 Representative
Ralph S. Regula Republican
17 Representative
Timothy J. ‘Tim’ Ryan Democrat
18 Representative
Robert William ‘Bob’ Ney Republican
If you mean who are the two Senators from Ohio, they are:
Mike DaWine – R
George V. Voinovich – R
Don’t listen to "fool". He\she is wrong.
It was a compromise between the states with large populations and the states with small populations. The states with large populations wanted representation in congress to be based on population like the House of Representatives. The small states wanted every state to have the same number of votes. They agreed to the "Great Compromise" which made a bicameral legislature with the Senate and the House of Representatives. Obviosly the Senate gives each state two votes and the House gives each state based on its population.
I mean working benefits.
For both U.S. Congress Members and House Representatives.
Your question is a bit unclear, as "U.S. Congress" refers to the Senate and the House, and "workers" could mean congressional staffers (i.e. the people who work for the Senators and Representatives).
The website below has everything you’re looking for in regards to the actual Members of Congress, but you’ll need to scroll down to the bottom third for the "benefits" (i.e. stuff other than salary).
I’ve never heard of the "free college for kids and grandkids" bit; I’d be interested in seeing a source for that.

Curious
The House of Representatives is half of congress if you count the number of chambers (House and Senate), or about 6/7 of the number of members of congress. Congress is both the House and Senate, composed of 100 Senators and about 540 members of The House of Representatives.

i just wanna know. and who is currently the speaker of the house?
25.
Nancy Pelosi.
Since democrats have a majority in the senate and the house, won’t they automatically vote for the democrat, in this case, Obama? So, by deductive reasoning, wouldn’t that mean that the election is already decided? If this is true, why even campaign?
Congress does not vote for the president; the electoral college does. And not neccessarily is the election already decided: people can sway as more skeletons come out of the closet and the candidates present better policy.
