How many years do House members serve?

Question

How many years do House members serve?

a) Two

b) Four

c) Six

d) One

Answer 1

Article I of the US Constitution, section 2 stipulates that "The House of Representatives shall be composed of Members chosen every second Year by the People of the several States..."

Answer 2

a) two

unless they get re-elected, then they serve two two year terms for a total of 4 years

if they get re-elected twice, they serve 6 years

if they get appointed to fill out the remaining 1 year of someone who resigned, then they serve only one year if they never get re-elected.

IF they keep getting re-elected, they could serve 8, 10, 12,...20,22, 24... years with a virtual life term

But "best" answer is what they want. Two years is the "best" answer.
