WordfinderCultureCongress is one of the three branches of the US federal government, the legislative branch. Congress is bicameral, which means that it has two houses, the senate and the House of Representatives. The main job of Congress is making laws. Before a new law can be made, both houses have to pass it, and it must then have the approval of the President. In a system of government based on a series of checks and balances, the two houses of Congress act as a check on each other, as well as together forming a check on the powers of the executive branch, especially the President.Extra ExamplesTopics Politicsb2Congress adjourned for the year without approving an economic stimulus package. 國會還沒批準經濟刺激一攬子計劃就進入年度休會了。 Congress annually enacts legislation to fund NASA. 國會每年通過立法向國家航空航天局撥款。 Congress appropriated $75 million for the program. 國會給這個項目撥款 7,500 萬美元。 Congress approved most of the new powers. 國會批準了大部份新的權限。 Congress authorized $18 billion to launch the program. 國會批準撥款 180 億美元啓動該項目。 Congress debated the issue at length. 國會對這個議題展開了長時間辯論。 Congress is currently considering legislation that would authorize the US nuclear weapons laboratories to study new types of nuclear weapons. 國會目前正在考慮立法授權美國核武器實驗室研究新型核武器。 Congress passed a series of important measures. 國會通過了一系列重要措施。 Congress voted to delay a decision. 國會投票決定推遲作出決定。 Outraged, he took his case to Congress. 激憤之下，他把案子提交到了國會。 The Liberals in Congress felt the reforms did not go far enough. 國會中的自由派人士覺得改革還不夠深入。 They will have to go to Congress to get the money. 他們將不得不到國會去獲取這筆錢。 legislation for the next session of Congress 國會下一屆會議的立法工作 President Fujimori suspended Congress and the judiciary. 總統藤森暫停了國會和司法機構的日常活動。 Within two years of coming to power, he dissolved Congress and the courts. 他執政不到兩年就解散了國會和法院。 The congress agreed to the tax-cutting package. 大會通過了減稅的一攬子計劃。
