What are the two parts of the U.S. Congress?

The Senate and the House of Representatives.

  1. Senate and Supreme Court
  2. House and Cabinet
  3. Senate and House of Representatives ✔

Why: Congress has two chambers: the Senate and the House of Representatives. A two-part legislature is called bicameral.

Huh, didn't know that: Both parts of Congress meet in the U.S. Capitol building in Washington, D.C.

Why did the Capitol dome get good grades? It was always on top of things.
