Question 25 of 128 · American Government · System of Government
How long is a term for a member of the House of Representatives?
Accepted answer
- Two (2) years
Why this is the answer
Members of the House of Representatives serve two-year terms, so the entire House faces the voters every second year. To run, a person must be a U.S. citizen, at least 25 years old and live in the state where the district is. The short term is deliberate: it keeps representatives close to the people who elect them. Memory hook: House 2, President 4, Senate 6.
