Describe the election cycle for the House and the Senate

-Elections for the House and the Senate take place every 2 Years, via the FPTP system -Every member of the house is put up for election, whilst only a third of Senators are put up for elections. That is because Senators have 6-year terms -This allows for the House to have frequent checking up on, and the Senate to have intervals, but still allows the Majority party to retain some control of the Senate -It can also be seen as a Check on how well the President is doing. Usually, they lose seats and their Majority overall, with only 7 US Presidents increasing their seats in one Chamber, and 2 US Presidents doing both.
