How many times may a congressman be re-elected?
There is no limit to the number of times a congressman can be re-elected in the United States. Members of the House of Representatives and the Senate can continue to run for re-election as long as they meet the eligibility requirements set forth in the Constitution, such as age and residency. This unlimited re-election potential is a key feature of the democratic system in the U.S., allowing voters to choose their representatives based on their performance and policies.

Is Washington D.C. the home of the president?

What is the 12th amendment to the constitution of the United States?
The 12th amendment requires separate electoral ballots for the president and vice president. This was created because, during the election of 1800 Thomas Jefferson & Aaron burr were going against the federalists, Jefferson & burr won, but they each received 73 electoral votes and the house of representatives had to re vote 35 times until on the 36th ballot Jefferson won. This happened because during that time the 2 people that got the highest votes were president and vice president, even if they were in different political parties. The Twelfth Amendment (Amendment XII) to the United States Constitution provides the procedure by which the President and Vice President are elected. It replaced the procedure of the Electoral College under Article II, Section 1, Clause 3, which demonstrated problems in the elections of 1796 and 1800. The Twelfth Amendment was proposed by the Congress on December 9, 1803 and was ratified by the requisite number of state legislatures on June 15, 1804. The Twelfth Amendment (1804) corrects a problem that has arisen in the method of electing the president and vice president. This amendment provides for the Electoral College to use separate ballots in voting for president and vice president.
