I love it. All y'all get me to lookin up stuff.

Are we talking about a definition of the word congress ?
different dictionaries identify different primary meanings...

(Ravens can be considered a congress as are crows)

I'm guessing a unicameral body falls under a definition of a congress.

Mika Accidentally Gives Our Enemies Lethal Advice; “This Is The Moment To Act”

 January 14, 2019  

Excerpt:

“I would take it a step further and worry we look weak, and that this is the moment that anybody with ill will has to act, or to get further than they have been able to get in the past, as it pertains to us on the national stage.”

Coincidence.  Maybe. Or Maybe Not.

I have been basing my congress response’s from memories of a high school “Government” class taken in Nebraska a long long time ago. However, I did go google a definition of unicameral.

I don’t remember what the legislature of Nebraska was called. But it sounds like you are on to something when saying that even though Nebraska doesn’t have congressmen or women a unicameral style government’s legislature can also be called a congress.

Thanks for the additional research. I wish I had that old Govt’ book handy now. Before I posted this response, I just did a quick Wikipedia dig myself. It stated that Nebraska has a “Speaker” of their legislature. I didn’t find any reference to it being called a “congress.” But I did see one reference to the legislature being simply called “The Unicameral.”
