Context
The Framers designed the House with short terms to keep representatives closely accountable to the people. Unlike senators (six-year terms) or the president (four-year term), House members face voters more often, ensuring they remain responsive to their districts' current concerns. All 435 House seats are up for election in even-numbered years.
