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. 国会还没批准经济刺激一揽子计划就进入年度休会了。 Congress annually enacts legislation to fund NASA. 国会每年通过立法向国家航空航天局拨款。 Congress appropriated $75 million for the program. 国会给这个项目拨款 7,500 万美元。 Congress approved most of the new powers. 国会批准了大部份新的权限。 Congress authorized $18 billion to launch the program. 国会批准拨款 180 亿美元启动该项目。 Congress debated the issue at length. 国会对这个议题展开了长时间辩论。 Congress is currently considering legislation that would authorize the US nuclear weapons laboratories to study new types of nuclear weapons. 国会目前正在考虑立法授权美国核武器实验室研究新型核武器。 Congress passed a series of important measures. 国会通过了一系列重要措施。 Congress voted to delay a decision. 国会投票决定推迟作出决定。 Outraged, he took his case to Congress. 激愤之下，他把案子提交到了国会。 The Liberals in Congress felt the reforms did not go far enough. 国会中的自由派人士觉得改革还不够深入。 They will have to go to Congress to get the money. 他们将不得不到国会去获取这笔钱。 legislation for the next session of Congress 国会下一届会议的立法工作 President Fujimori suspended Congress and the judiciary. 总统藤森暂停了国会和司法机构的日常活动。 Within two years of coming to power, he dissolved Congress and the courts. 他执政不到两年就解散了国会和法院。 The congress agreed to the tax-cutting package. 大会通过了减税的一揽子计划。
