how many senators in congress
There are 100 Senators in the Senate. The number of Senators per state remains at two and the total number only changes when a new state is admitted into the union. There are 435 Representatives in the House of Representatives. The number of members in the House of Representatives is a different story and is based on population. The process by which seats in the House are distributed to the states is called âCongressional apportionmentâ and starts with the U.S. Census which is conducted every ten years.
