Question

Ection 5 - CONGESSIONAL RULES

1. Who is the judge of elections retums, and qualifications of members of
Congress Each

Answer 1

Each house (the House of Representatives and the Senate) is the judge of elections, returns, and qualifications of members of Congress.

Explanation:

• The Constitution of the United States, through Article 1, dispenses the right of judging the elections, returns, and qualifications of the members of each house to the houses itself.
• The same article defines the quorum of each of the houses as the presence of the majority of members (more than half) of the house.
