The term SENATE-HOUSE refers to the two chambers of the United States Congress, the Senate and the House of Representatives. The Latin word for these two chambers is Curia, which is a five letter word. The Senate is composed of 100 members, two from each state, while the House of Representatives is composed of 435 members, with the number of representatives from each state determined by population. Together, the Senate and the House of Representatives make up the legislative branch of the United States government.
