	Congress - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Congress is the name of the main legislative body in a state that operates under a congressional system of government.
		In a congressional system the executive and legislative branches of government are clearly differentiated.
		The office as Head of State (president) and Head of Government (prime minister) are typically merged, and the members of cabinet are only rarely taken from the congress.

	Data Element: Congressional District - U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-07)
		Congressional districts are legislatively defined subdivisions of a State for the purpose of electing representatives or delegates to the House of Representatives of the United States Congress.
		Congressional district codes are unique within each State and equivalent entity, and for each Congress; however, congressional districts in different states can have the same code (e.g., the First Congressional District of Alabama and Arizona are both coded "01").
		Congressional district and State numeric codes will be handled as separate data fields in any new or modified automated system, and will not be combined in a single data field.

		In those instances the sum of the population of all the other counties in the district was subtracted from the population of the entire district (as provided in the Congressional Directory) to estimate the population contained in the divided county, and thus the proportion of the county within that district.
