This subcategory is for sites pertaining to the House of Representatives, the lower house of the United States Congress. The makeup of the House is determined by the US Constitution. There are 435 representatives who serve two-year terms. Members of the House of Representatives must be 25 years of age, an inhabitant of the state from which he or she is elected, and a citizen of the United States for at least 7 years. The representatives are divided among the states proportionally according to population, determined by a decennial census ("actual enumeration"). Each state is entitled to at least one representative. Over the years, politically-motivated re-districting (referred to by critics as "gerrymandering") has allowed many districts to become strongholds or "safe seats" for either the Democratic or the Republican Party, since the borders are drawn to include voting groups favorable to one or the other.This subcategory is for sites pertaining to the House of Representatives, the lower house of the United States Congress.
