		Representatives are apportioned to the states on the basis of population; several of the least-populated states have only one representative each.
		The Constitution provides that a representative must be 25 years of age, have been a citizen of the United States for seven years, and be a resident of the state that he or she is representing.
		A few states continued, for a variety of reasons, to elect at least some of their representatives at large, and many states drew district lines that violated the norms of contiguity, compactness, and equality of population.

		Each house of Congress has the power to introduce legislation on any subject, except for legislation dealing with gathering revenue (generally through taxes), which must originate in the House of Representatives (specifically the U.S. House Committee on Ways and Means).
		In the House, a petition to release a bill from a committee to the floor requires the signatures of 218 members; in the Senate, a majority of all members is required.
		Once passed by both houses, the bill is sent to the president, for constitutionally the president must act on a bill for it to become law.
