2008 test · Question 17 of 100 ★ 65/20
What are the two parts of the U.S. Congress?
Official USCIS answers
- the Senate and House (of Representatives)
Why this is the answer
Congress is the legislative branch, and it is split into two chambers. One is the Senate and the other is the House of Representatives, so together they make up Congress.
💡 Memory tip: Congress has two halves: Senate + House.
