In the US, Congress is divided into "Houses" (sometimes called chambers). Both houses of Congress -- the US Senate and the US House of Representatives -- are part of the Legislative Branch of government. The Senate and House of Representatives make laws together. Under most circumstances, they have to agree by a simple majority vote.
