	United States House of Representatives - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The bicameral Congress arose from the desire of the Founding Fathers to create a "house of the people" that would closely resemble and follow public opinion, in addition to a more deliberative, learned and reserved Senate which would be less susceptible to the frenzies of mass sentiment.
		The chamber of the United States House of Representatives is located in the south wing of the Capitol building, in Washington, D.C. This photograph shows a rare glimpse of the four vote tallying boards (the flish squares across the top), which display each member's name and vote as votes are in progress.
		Congress has the power to set members' salaries, however the Twenty-Seventh Amendment prohibits a change in wages to take effect in the same two-year term that it is passed into law.
