Irrelevant. Auto correct error.
I wrote in one of my responses that the use of the term congress to refer to both chambers of the US legislature has become the normative.

It has ALWAYS been the ‘normative’

Article I (Article 1 - Legislative)
Section 1
All legislative Powers herein granted shall be vested in a Congress of the United States, which shall consist of a Senate and House of Representatives.


I will concede to Article I, I should have said “is normative.”

On the other hand it isn’t normative in Nebraska when speaking of their legislature. To quote Wikileaks, “In 1934, voters approved a constitutional amendment to take effect with the 1936 elections, abolishing the House of Representatives and granting its powers to the Senate.[4].”

What I take this to mean is that the US ‘Legislature’ is bicameral and that the powers of it are divided into two parts a Senate and a House. The adopted term congress was nullified in one state where a unicameral was voted in. Therefore, governing without a legislature wouldn’t be possible in our form of Republic. Whereas Congress as an entity is subservient to the Legislative Branch by title. Ie. Nebraska said it doesn’t need one.

Just a side note, it appears that Wikileaks condensed a lot of what that old Nebraska Gov’t book had to say under the heading Nebraska Legislature.

Heck, I should have backed tracked the discussion before I jumped in, then I wouldn’t have. But I learned stuff. specially about Nebraska.

I learned ( among other things ) about both Houses of Congress through a H.S.required Civics course.
Is Civics even required anymore ?

thanks all.
