Were you including the Senate as part of a generic term “Congress?”

I always have and always do and probably always will until somebody tells me I'm wrong.

To me, Congress includes both the House and the Senate. As in "the two halls of Congress" or "both Houses of Congress".

I do realize that some people think House of Representatives is "Congress" and the Senate is the "Senate ".

But I think those people are wrong.

What is Congress

(excerpt)

The Congress of the United States is the legislative, or lawmaking, branch of the federal government. It is a bicameral legislature, which means that it is made up of two chambers, or houses. They are the House of Representatives and the Senate.

I am of the opinion both the Senate and the House are crawling with Derp Black Hats and this includes both parties.

I am of that opinion as well, goodman.

Oh, come on. Everyone knows there are three chambers of government. The presidency, house, and senate.

The word congress itself requires two entities “in Congress.”
