How many congressman are there in the Unites States?

The US Senate is composed of two senators for each state -- 2 * 50 = 100

The US House of Representatives has 435 voting members and 5 non-voting members (representing DC, Puerto Rico, US Virgin Islands, Guam, and American Samoa) = 440

Together that adds up to 540 members of Congress .

Congress is the correct name to refer to both houses together, although sometimes the term is used, incorrectly, to refer to the House of Representatives. Also, we use the term "Congressman/woman so-and-so" to refer to a member of the House of Representatives, when we should correctly say "Representative so-and-so."

Each state has 2 Senators and the number of Representatives for the House varies according to state population. The total number of Congressman are 540. Link below.

Read up on the Electoral College, the institution that actually elects our President.

Here's the breakdown on number of congressmen:

http://www.fairvote.org/e_college/popandvotes.htm

There are 538 Congressmen total in the House of Representatives. Plus 100 Senators. Total = 638.

Currently, there are 435 elected representatives in the US House of Representatives based on population plus delegates from Guam, Puerto Rico, American Samoa, the US Virgin Islands, and the District of Columbia.The US Senate has 100 elected officials - 2 from each state.

For exact numbers on the number from each state, visit the Congressional websites at: http://www.house.gov/ and http://www.senate.gov/

I'm amazed that people don't seem to know the answer to this question.

There are 100 senators and 435 members of the House of Representatives.

The District of Columbia and the territories of American Samoa, Guam, and the U.S. Virgin Islands are represented by one non-voting delegate each. A non-voting "Resident Commissioner" from Puerto Rico represents that island.

there are 100 senators 50 from every state, and around 350 reps in the house which vary on the population of the state
