Congressperson(Redirected from Congressman)
A Congressman or Congresswoman (generically, Congressperson) is a politician who is a member of a Congress. In the United States, a Congressman usually refers to a member of the country's House of Representatives. Technically, Senators (members of the United States Senate, the other house of the U.S. Congress) are also Congressmen, but are rarely referred to as such to avoid confusion.
In countries with a "Parliament" rather than a "Congress," MP (Member of Parliament) is used instead.
Note:
American Political Scientists, in a further effort to clarify the issue, now often use the term Member of Congress (MC), to refer to both members of the Senate and the House, and stick to Senator and Representative when referring to members of either specific body. These terms - Member of Congress, Senator, Representative - all have the advantage of being gender-neutral, reducing the number of variant terms needed. The term also brings the U.S. into line with the rest of the world's parliamentary bodies, reducing confusion abroad. However, it is important to note that Member of Congress has not yet come into popular use in the United States.
