Dear Mr. Jose Maria Juanita Garcia,

            It has occurred to me that you might be a little confused about how the United States’ Congress works.  Our government is a Representative Democracy.  This means that people are elected to represent the people of that state in the decisions of the government.  There are two different houses in the Congress, which is known as bicameralism.  The two houses are known as the Senate, which has 2 people representing each state, and the House of Representatives, which has a number of representatives according to the population of the state.  Each person in the Senate and House of representatives has a length of time in service.  This is known as a term.  The terms begin every odd year on the 3^rd of January.  Not all of the people in each house is elected at the same period, so then there are people who know what is going on in the government and others who are fresh and willing to learn more about the government.  They have sessions, which are meeting periods where they people discuss what is going on in the government and how to deal with certain things.  Each member of the Congress has two sessions.   They meet so they can make laws for the country, which is known as law making.   In the rare occasion that an emergency happens, they might call a Special Session.  This is where they decide something about the emergency.
