For how long do we elect a US Representative?

U.S. Representatives are elected to serve a term of 2 years. This two-year term is defined in the U.S. Constitution, which establishes that all members of the House of Representatives must stand for election every even-numbered year. This provision ensures that Representatives remain closely accountable to their constituents, as they must seek re-election frequently. The shorter term allows voters to regularly assess their performance and make changes as necessary in alignment with the public's evolving needs and opinions. This system helps maintain a government that reflects the current will of the people. The other options represent different terms associated with various government positions; for example, Senators serve for 6 years, while the President serves for 4 years, but those durations do not apply to Representatives.
