Where can I find descriptions of Congress and of the legislative process? Is there anything appropriate for kids?
There is a glossary of Congressional terms on THOMAS. A brief discussion of the legislative process is provided by Indiana University’s Center on Congress. Two more detailed articles are available from THOMAS, courtesy of the House and the Senate. A simpler version of the legislative process in the House is also available. Kids in the House, sponsored by the House of Representatives Office of the Clerk, is an interactive center to help kids learn about the House and its role in lawmaking. Ben’s Guide to the U.S. Government provides information for children of all ages, as well as information for educators. THOMAS provides legislative resources specifically for educators.
