A legislative body that has the real power. They fund and create laws and programs, impeach, and confirm appointments. The president almost always has to get past them before anything can be done. I can understand why its easy to blame the president for everything that is wrong because there is only one president and hundreds of congresspeople, but if you really want to have a voice, get off your butt and contact your local congressperson

Get the Congress mug.by McLovinBro April 27, 2015
Get the Congress mug.A group of people that vote on our laws... or are supposed to. Most of what they do is argue and can't get to a decision, resulting in a shutdown, and maybe in the future, a default. They decide on the budget... but never do.
Me: Hi congress
Congress: Can't you see we're trying to decide on the budget
100 years later
Me: Hi congress
Congress: We're not done yet deciding on the budget.

Get the Congress mug.One of the major parts of the United States federal government that contains 2 parts: the House and the Senate. Also, members are usually designated to the Republicans, the Democrats or to an independent party. They are pretty powerful since one of their major functions is passing or repealing laws that can effect the entire country. These people work long and hard to try to take away your freedoms every single day by passing more and more laws and bills that are completely useless and unnecessary. These people also tend to act like idiotic butthurt teenagers with too much power in their hands.
These politicians are so butthurt that they will shutdown the government if no one agrees with their views. Logic and reasoning, as well as actual facts and data won't get through to them. One such case is Nancy Pelosi who stated that every month 500,000,000 Americans lose their jobs. The major flaw with her statement is that in 2009 (the year that she stated that), there were only 316 million people in the United States and yes, she said millions. This is one of the examples of the failures of Congress.

Congress consists of 2 parts: The House and the Senate and this branch of government is filled with nothing but butthurt children with too much power and are idiotic to boot. This, of course, is a pretty terrible combination for the country.
