Does this mean all 435 seats of the House is up for re-election during a midterm election(every 2 years)? What about the Senate?
Never-mind, I read that all 435 seats of the House is up for re-election and 1/3 of the Senate seats are up every midterm election.

Hello. Your video is good, however, if I wanted to read about it I would look it up elsewhere. It would have been much nicer if you could have spoken the definition.

Your video is cool and informative but fails to answer the question as to whether the president can be voted out in these elections. Or does the presidency always last 4 years and the midterms are for every other elected position but not the president?
