How long is a term for a member of the House of Representatives?

Two (2) years.

  1. Four years
  2. Two years ✔
  3. Six years

Why: House members serve two-year terms, so every House seat is on the ballot every two years. Senators serve six years.

Huh, didn't know that: A member of the House must be at least 25 years old.
