From real dave
Barr lied to Congress, His summary was tilted to protect Trump. And we are supposed to believe that POS when he redacts somethng? Barr has zero credibility.
So, you think a report of an investigation on the President can be controlled by a man the President just appointed knowing that this man would protect him.
You would piss on the Constitution to protect Trump? Really. You should try giving a shit about our country for a change.
Quit pretending that you give a **** about the Constitution...I know that you don't so just stop it.
Oh, and grow the **** up.
AND TO IMPEACH do you give a **** odd one?
Key Takeaways: U.S. House of Representatives
- The House of Representatives is the lower chamber of the two legislative bodies in the United States federal government.
- The House is currently made up of 435 representatives—referred to as congressmen or congresswomen—who serve an unlimited number of two-year terms. The number of representatives from each state is based on the state’s population.
- As required by the Constitution, representatives must reside in the state from which they are elected, must have been a U.S. citizen for at least seven years, and be at least 35 years old.
- A representative’s primary duties include introducing, debating, and voting on bills, proposing amendments to bills, and serving on committees.
- The House has the exclusive powers to initiate all tax and spending bills and to impeach federal officials.
House members serve two-year terms. Rather than represent their entire state, as
Senate members do, they represent a specific district. This tends to give House members a closer link to their constituents-and more accountability, since they have but two years to satisfy voters before having to run for re-election.
Also referred to as a congressman or congresswoman, a representative’s primary duties include introducing bills and resolutions, offering amendments and serving on committees.
Alaska, North Dakota, South Dakota, Montana and Wyoming, all sprawling but sparsely populated states, have just one representative each in the House; tiny states like Delaware and Vermont also send just one representative to the House. By contrast, California sends 53 representatives; Texas sends 32; New York sends 29, and Florida sends 25 representatives to Capitol Hill. The number of representatives each state is allotted is determined every 10 years in accordance with the
federal census. Although the number has changed periodically through the years, the House has remained at
435 members since 1913, with shifts in representation occurring among different states.
The system of House representation based on district population was part of the
Great Compromise of the Constitutional Convention in 1787, which led to the Permanent Seat of Government Act establishing the nation's federal capital in Washington, DC. The House assembled for the first time in New York in 1789, moved to Philadelphia in 1790 and then to Washington, DC, in 1800.
