Members of the House of Representatives are elected for two years. In the United States, representatives serve two-year terms and there is no limit on the number of terms they can serve, allowing them to run for reelection every two years. This ensures that they remain accountable to their constituents and can be responsive to changing public opinions and needs. The House, being part of the legislative branch, holds significant powers, such as creating and voting on legislation, and its members directly represent smaller districts compared to the Senate, where members serve six-year terms and represent entire states. The two-year term for the House emphasizes the importance of frequent elections in a democratic system.
