	United States House of Representatives - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		It is conventional to consider the House as the "lower house", and the Senate as the "upper house", although the U.S. Constitution, while making the functions of the two houses different in various ways, does not use such language.
		Under Article One of the Constitution, seats in the House of Representatives are apportioned among the states on the basis of population, as determined by a census conducted every ten years.
		The party with a majority of seats in the House is known as the majority party; the next-largest party is the minority party.

	Women Likely to Lose House Seats in 2002 Elections (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
		But because this year features a relatively small number of open seats, and because a fairly high number of women House members are retiring or are considered politically vulnerable, women could also see their numbers plateau or decline on Election Day.
		The number of open seats is less than half of what it was in 1992, when the political climate prompted a large number of incumbents to resign or lose their primary races.
		Consequently, political observers expect the number of open seats to reach about 40 this year, leaving few opportunities for the 60-odd women who have said they are considering congressional bids.
