The Senate has 100 members serving six-year terms with equal representation per state; the House has 435 members serving two-year terms apportioned by population. The Senate also confirms nominations and ratifies treaties.
Floor proceedings are broadcast and archived publicly, and committee hearings are typically streamed on the committee's official page. State senates usually stream sessions on their legislature's website.
