Bardet-Biedl syndrome (BBS) is a rare genetic disorder that affects many areas of the body, primarily the eyes, hands, feet, genitals, and kidneys. In addition, people with BBS tend to be obese, have intellectual disabilities, and be at increased risk of diabetes, high blood pressure, and heart disease.
Reapportionment is the process by which the seats of the House of Representatives are redistributed among the states based on changes in population according to the Census which is conducted every 10 years.
House seats are apportioned among each of the states by population. The 100 members of the Senate serve staggered six-year terms, with each state apportioned two senators, regardless of the state population. Approximately one-third of the Senate is elected every two years at a time. The rate for re-election for incumbents often exceeds 90%. The Congress, made up of the House of Representatives and the Senate, each has an equal say in the legislative process.
