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.

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.”
