Some Important Faces
The Houses
The Senate has a total of 50 members. Those members serve two year terms and are elected by the people of North Carolina. The House of Representatives however, have a total of 120 members who serve for two years. Both houses combined have the power to grant or reject anything the governor wants to pass. They also are responsible for enforcing what the federal government passes. For example they can either offer Obama care or not use it.
