here let me help you out:
The Two Houses of Congress. Congress is divided into two chambers, the Senate and the House of Representatives. The Senate is sometimes called the upper chamber and the House the lower chamber because the Founders thought that different sorts of people would be elected to these two bodies.
Talk about demonstrated credibility loss!!

"a member of a congress;
especially : a member of the U.S. House of Representatives"
You're just being nit picky billy...no need to get hostile. MOST people separate the Senators in the Senate from the "Congressmen" in the house.
Actually...the founders wanted the STATES to appoint the Senators...not have them elected by the people like the "Congressmen".
The founders ALSO wanted a PRESIDENTIAL election only...whomever got the popular vote was president...second place became the vice president.
The founders didn't want women voting.
The founders didn't want blacks voting.
They didn't want to poor voting.
There have been a lot of changes...some for the good...some NOT so good.
