USCIS 128:37. The President of the United States can serve only two terms. Why?

The President of the United States can serve only two terms. This rule comes from the 22nd Amendment to the Constitution. A term is four years, so a President can serve a maximum of eight years.

The 22nd Amendment was added to keep one person from staying in power for too long. It helps protect democracy by limiting how much power one President can have. This rule makes sure that leadership can change over time and that no President becomes too powerful.

 

USCIS 128:36. The President of the United States is elected for how many years?

The President of the United States is elected for four years. This four-year period is called a term. During this time, the President leads the executive branch and carries out the laws of the country.

After four years, the people vote again in a national election. A President can be elected for a second four-year term, but no one can serve more than two terms. This means the longest a person can serve as President is eight years.

 

USCIS 128:35. Some states have more representatives than other states. Why?

There are 435 representatives in the House of Representatives. These seats are divided among the states based on population. This means representation is based on how many people live in each state.

Some states have more representatives than others. States with more people receive more representatives. States with fewer people receive fewer representatives.

Every ten years, the United States counts the population in a census. After the census, the number of representatives for each state may change. If a state’s population grows, it may gain a representative. If its population becomes smaller compared to other states, it may lose one. This system helps make sure that the House represents the people fairly.

USCIS 128:34. Who elects members of the House of Representatives?

Members of the House of Representatives are elected by citizens who live in their congressional district. A congressional district is a specific area inside a state. Each district has about the same number of people. Only the citizens who live in that district can vote for their representative.

During an election, citizens choose the person they want to represent them in the House. The candidate who receives the most votes wins. This means the representative is chosen directly by the people in that district. Their job is to speak for those citizens in Congress.

USCIS 128:33. Who does a member of the House of Representatives represent?

A member of the House of Representatives represents the people who live in their congressional district. A congressional district is a specific area inside a state. Each state is divided into districts based on population. People who live in each district vote to choose one person to represent them in the House.

The representative speaks and acts for the people in that district. They listen to their concerns, support laws that help their community, and vote on bills in Congress. Their job is to make sure the voices of the people in their district are heard in the federal government.

USCIS 128:32. Who elects U.S. senators?

U.S. senators are elected by the citizens of their state. This means that people who are registered to vote in a state choose their two senators during an election. Every state has two senators, and voters decide who will represent them in the U.S. Senate.

Before 1913, senators were chosen by state legislatures. However, the 17th Amendment to the Constitution changed this process. Now, citizens vote directly for their senators. This gives the people more power and allows them to choose leaders who represent their interests at the national level.

USCIS 128:31. Who does a U.S. senator represent?

A U.S. senator represents the people of their entire state. This means a senator speaks for everyone who lives in that state, not just one city or one area.

Each state has two senators, and they work in Washington, D.C. Senators help write laws, vote on important issues, and represent their state’s interests in the federal government.

Senators Alex Padilla and Adam Schiff represent the state of California in the U.S. Senate.  Find your state's senators at senate.gov.
