There is no parliament.

Congress is divided into two houses: Senate and Representative

Senate = 100 members (2 from every state)
Representative = 435 members (that's 1 per 693,000 residents as of 2007)

The only third party is classified as "Independent" (No "Socialist Party" or "Commie-Pinko Bastards"). I suppose there could be someone elected that ran a specific platform that would deviate from the normal 2 + 1 but....there hasn't been in recent memory...I'm sure $tinkle will chime in with some obscure stuff...

They usually vary little from the party line, but enough so that they can't be easily classified as repub or dem.

^^^ That definition is very loose. I don't want to post a freakin' diatribe so if you want to flame away, have at. I don't care... irate2:

But didn't Ross Perrot have a party of his own, and that Buchanan guy to? And the third party you speak of must be the green party, right?

You don't call the two Houses for parliament as a group name?



EDIT: Only three parties registered in the whole country?!!

There are a few minor parties, the Green Party and Libertarian Party are the best known. Ross P. had the Reform Party.

Sorry, no parliament here. We left that in the Old World. As for the House of Representatives and the U.S. Senate, combined they are known as Congress. And yes, (Pro (for) .vs. Con (against) ; Con-gress .vs. Pro-gress )
