"Mr. Lance!"
"Nice to meet you!"
At the dock, a forty-something Congressman approached with a bright smile, which was actually a gesture of equality, perhaps even slightly humble.

In truth, you can't say that Representatives are useless; the Speaker of the House and some senior representatives have also been in the House of Representatives for a long time.
But regardless, their influence and status in the political arena are never as significant as the senators in the Senate.
The Federation has a very clear "pattern"; most of those who win and are sworn in as Federation Presidents come from the Senate, with a minority winning through gubernatorial elections.
Yet, not a single President has ever emerged from the House of Representatives.
Moreover, Representatives have only a two-year term. Aside from a very few who can hold onto their positions for long, the majority leave after two years.
