Law/Patents - Law (general)
English term or phrase: House of Representatives
Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives in General Court assembled, and by the authority of the same, as follows:[...]

Senate should stand for مجلس الشيوخ , what would House of Representatives stand for ?? It's the USA we're talking about here. Does المجلس التشريعي/ الهيئة التشريعية work here?

Now, I found some previous kudoz answers stating مجلس النواب to stand for House of Representatives. In Palestine, الشيوخ، النواب، التشريعي are all standing for one entity!! What's the difference here??

TIA

مجلس النواب
Explanation:
The US legislature (the US Congress) is bi-cameral (consists of two chambers, a lower chamber and an upper chamber). The lower chamber is the House of Representatives, the upper is the Senate.

Please keep in mind that the Arabic names of US institutions are mere conventions, deriving their legitimacy mainly from their currency and longevity. There is nothing inherently right or wrong about them.
