>> The legislature >Congress 53/45 R; House 219/215 R

It's the Senate, not "Congress". Colloquially, "Congress" usually refers to the House of Representatives.

>SCOTUS (5-4 R)

> interprets the laws.

Actually, it's 6-3, not 5-4.

I get that you're not from or live in the US. Please understand, I'm not trying to insult or demean you. But you're making statements that are not true.

I believe the term is "FTFY." And you're welcome.

You are also wrong. Congress is both houses of the legislature. It’s the senate and the house of reps.

FTFY

If you're going to be snarky you should try being right.

You said

> "Congress" usually refers to the House of Representatives.

Which is incorrect and what I was responding to. Reading comprehension doesn't seem to be your strong suit either eh?

Who is your congressperson?

I needn't say any more, do I?

I'd also add that I said:

Colloquially, "Congress" usually refers to the House of Representatives.

Colloquial (adjective):[0]

1a: used in or characteristic of familiar and informal conversation

Did you just not know the meaning of that word or did you intentionally decide to ignore it?

"Congress" is the name of the whole bicameral legislature, not either one of the houses, though "Congressman" or "Congresswoman" refers to a member of the House of Representatives.

Sorry for the late reply. Reading comprehension not your strong suit?
