He later parceled off the three estates and sold the house to the Durkee family, famous for their line of spices. It was a wedding gift for their daughter, and they were responsible for the 1870s additions. After them, the Christian Brothers purchased the property in the 1920s and built their monastery in 1933. Introducing Altair Vodka, a twice pot distilled and 30X micro-distilled spirit using our naturally soft mineral water.

A vodka so unique and smooth with flavor there is no need for mixers it stands on its own. The goal was to have a name that represented the property and vision and evolved from Star which was a west coast brand now migrating to the Hudson Valley. A fascinating story has unfolded in creating Altair Vodka which leads us to believe it was meant to be. Our vision is to share our story and experience through our world class spirits, and our breathtaking property and deliver what Hudson Valley has to offer, to the world.

House Specialties

Ferri and Seres are actually the fourth owners of this gem; three different constructions altered the building completely in the 1850s, 1870s, and 1930s. Hudson House sits on 27 acres of a larger parcel of 400 acres formerly owned by the Congregation of Christian Brothers. A Union colonel, Archibald Russell built the original Italian-style manor house just before the Civil War.

A hand pump to a cistern, which remains intact to this day, provided them fresh water. Residents of the monastery left out extra food, soap, towels, and other supplies. Hobos rested onside, cleaned themselves up, and went back down the trail to jump aboard the next train to pass by.

The Hudson House New York is the first of its kind waterfront destination distillery. A craft distillery in the cellar of a former monastery, event space and soon-to-be-boutique hotel located in the heart of the Hudson Valley. Situated on an iconic 27-acre waterfront property enabling both land and water access, The Hudson House is home to a one-of-a-kind farm distillery, producing ultra-premium, limited batch spirits. The Hudson House New York is a destination experience like no other and the first of its kind in the region.

Waterfront Craft Distillery, Restaurant/Bar, Weddings and ​Private Events

Ferri and Seres took a leap of faith and closed on the site during a fire sale in 2015, following the Christian Brothers’ declaration of bankruptcy. When enjoying cocktails on the 5,000 sq ft deck and gazing out at Vanderbilt Mansion, it’s difficult to imagine how difficult the road to opening really was. Of course, the owners had a global pandemic to contend with on top of everything else. “Because of our proximity to SUNY New Paltz, Marist College, and some of the other colleges, we have a great network of educators that know about this property who specialize in certain fields. We’ve had somebody come through who knew about the architecture because he teaches architecture.

Our portfolio consists of Black Creek Bourbon, Black Creek Empire Rye, Black Creek Aniversario Bourbon, Black Creek Devil’s Cut and Altair Vodka. Keep on the look out for our latest releases including a New York State Gin, release date Summer 2024. “This is exactly the type of business we were looking for—a portfolio of brands that all support the central concept,” Seres says. Feel free to stay after the tour and enjoy food and drinks the manor or on the deck overlooking the Hudson River. Your guide to the people, places and activities that define the beautiful and ever-changing Hudson Valley region.

One of our consultants runs the graduate program of archaeology at SUNY New Paltz, and his forte is 1920s Americana,” Seres says. “When you look around the entire nation, I kid you not, there is nothing like this at all, anywhere. But, it’s taken us an enormously long time to get here,” co-founder Charles Ferri says. Ferri and his partner, Paul Seres, spent five long years bringing their concept to fruition. With a strong focus on sourcing seasonal local ingredients, the menu is ever changing and evolving based on availability, insuring the freshest ingredients.

Archibald died in 1871 and his widow, Helen, sold the Glen Albyn estate to the Durkee family in 1885. The Durkee’s were proprietors of one of the country’s leading spice businesses and eventually condiment producers. “At the time, Charles had stepped away from venue management and was moving towards product development. He created Star Vodka and was building up a name for it in the city,” Seres says.

Fall 2021 marks an official grand opening for Hudson House New York, but, until then, eager fans can stop by during a series of “whisper openings” in August. During the events, guests can catch live jazz performances and sample first batches on the weekends. We want people to come here for the experience, and to form new memories through our storytelling,” Seres says.

Spirit aficionados travel far and wide to experience tastings in atmospheric cellars and on bucolic farms. Shaina Taub’s brilliant Suffs, Alicia Keys’ joyous Hell’s Kitchen and the exhilarating Sufjan Stevens-Justin Peck dance-musical hybrid collaboration Illinoise are — or should be — sure bets. I’m less sure about the final two slots, but I’ll go with Days of Wine and Roses, a lovely, low-key but wrenching tale of alcoholism during New York’s Mad Men era. And while Lempicka was an uneven account of the sadly forgotten 20th century artist Tamara Lempicka, it had more than enough moments to join the race. Schedule a tour to learn more about how this incredible one of a kind distillery came to life and overcame enormous challenges over 6 years. They gutted the entire basement, ending up with 12 ft-high ceilings, German copper stills and columns, and a small lounge with a picture window peering into the distillery.

Technically speaking, Hudson House owns about 25 ft of the river, since Colonel Russell secured right of dock and riparian rights for the property’s shoreline. At Hudson House & Distillery, visitors sip small-batch bourbons and rye whiskeys with a breathtaking backdrop of the river. Grain-to-glass producers turn the region’s rich bounty into award-winning whiskeys, gins, and more.

Part of what makes our spirits so special is the water from an onsite old artesian well that taps into a Catskill aquifer. As that water travels to Hudson House, it passes over limestone creating our naturally soft mineral water we call our "Holy Water" which is used in all of our craft spirits. Seres and Ferri spent weeks in the basement fumbling their way through the assembly of the stills. (“There’s no instruction booklet to put distillery equipment together!” Ferri says). They’ve hired a distiller who most recently worked at Hillrock Estate and at Tuthilltown (which Ralph Erenzo founded) in its early days. Luckily, Seres and Ferri had foresight to start their first batch years ago.

The distillery and tasting rooms are currently in a soft launch phase, with property tours running Fridays through Sundays from 12-6pm and a slew of upcoming events scheduled. The 5,000-square-foot ballroom and the kitchen will come online in 2022, with the hotel in two or three years. For the first time in 150 years, this stunning West Park property opens its grounds to the public.

Its first phase includes a tasting room adorned with original brick wood accents, an expansive four-season deck overlooking the Hudson’s eastern shores, and a beautiful bridal suite. Down the road, this all-in-one destination will unveil a 25-room hotel, indoor and outdoor wedding event spaces, and more. Our craft distillery is located in the cellar of a former monastery and uses custom made equipment from Kothe distilling systems in Germany. Constructed in the 1850s, the historic building sits on 27 riverfront acres and spent the last century as a monastery. When entrepreneurs Charles Ferri and Paul Seres purchased the property from the Vatican in 2015, they became the fourth owners ever. Learn how the Founders overcame enormous challenges over a 6-year period, finally succeeding in creating the first of its kind waterfront destination distillery in the USA.

Ferri notes the basement’s likeness to “an old catacomb, waiting to be explored.” When working on the tasting room upstairs, the team unearthed an original brick fireplace. Tables and other pieces used wood harvested onsite, with other treasures still waiting to be discovered. Local government from the Town of Esopus nominated this a priority project for the region. The proposal included a 25-room hotel, a 10,000 sq ft ballroom, restaurants, and more.

And finally, seeing first-hand the distillery operations in the cellar of the former monastery. The tour will conclude with a tasting and discussion of our limited batch world class spirits and what makes them so special. On a quiet stretch of 9W dotted by farms and vineyards, there is a corridor of Catholic institutions—historic monasteries, schools, and camps that have quietly existed along the river for over 100 years. In the 1850’s, Archibald Russell, a known philanthropist and founder of Ulster County Savings in Kingston, built a home for his family on an estate known as Glen Albyn.

He also supported other local producers through his operation at Gardiner Liquid Mercantile. This expert revealed that Hudson House served as a major stop along the hobo circus. Because of the freight train bifurcating the property—Hudson House is one of two destinations along the river that has an underpass—riders would leap off the train and follow a trail up the hill.

Daniel Radcliffe is a lock for Merrily, and Steven Skybell gave the most likable performance in Cabaret as the Jewish merchant Herr Schultz. Brandon Victor Dixon was unforgettable despite limited stage time in Hell’s Kitchen, and Michael Urie was the single funniest performer in a very funny Spamalot. I’m also predicting Paul Alexander Nolan for Water for Elephants, but I’d rather see Ben Cook take the spot for his wrenching turn in Illinoise. We use select New York State grains supporting local farms for our spirit production in small batches.

Early visitors will get a taste of primary offerings Black Creek Bourbon and Black Creek Rye, the latter of which will join the official Empire Rye designation. To produce Empire Rye, a distiller must source 100-percent of its ingredients from New York growers. Another bourbon will utilize local maple syrup for a subtle sweetness, and the team will soon tap trees on the own property for sap. Black Creek Whiskey’s label contains a photo of the property in the 1800s, back when the Durkee family owned it. Bottle releases are always small-batch collector’s items, with their own identifying “Easter eggs.” Seres and Ferri strive to reveal the Hudson Valley’s history to visitors far and wide through their labeling. Potential future plans include a cinnamon whiskey referencing the burning of Kingston in 1777, and paying homage to local heroes like Sojourner Truth.

My wife caught a glimpse of this site driving on 9W and encouraged me to check it out. We snuck onto the property, and our first glimpse of the river blew us away,” Ferri recalls. In a pure moment of synchronicity, what is now Hudson House hit the market less than a week prior.

The Hudson House: A Destination Distillery on the Riverfront

“I kept doing events, running a venue called the DL in the Lower East Side, and Charles was promoting Star Vodka on the rooftop.” The pair sipped vodka together, riffing back and forth about different ideas. Seres is one of the founders of the NYC Hospitality Alliance, a vast network of future allies. They connected right away and shared the same dream of opening a one-of-a-kind all-in-one destination.

Situated on an iconic 27-acre waterfront property enabling both land and water access, The Hudson House is home to a one-of-a-kind farm distillery, producing ultra premium, limited batch spirits. Go back in time to the 1850's when the property was a private residence, to the 1900's as a monastery for over 100 years and finally transformed into The Hudson House & Distillery. You will be guided through the old manor, parlors, dining room, library and more.

There’s another candle company up in Hudson we’re looking to do something with…. So you’re coming into our world, coming to this experience, and you’re leaving knowing you experienced something very unique and different and representative of the greater Hudson Valley,” Ferri enthuses. Hudson House also features craft beverages from other local producers under a private label. It showcases Mill House Brewing Co.’s light lager and Kolsch, Millbrook Winery’s award-winning Tocai, and several wines from the Finger Lakes region.

The 77th annual Tony Awards, hosted by Ariana DeBose, will air live on CBS starting at 8 p.m. ET/5 PT on Sunday, June 16, from the David H. Koch Theater at Lincoln Center for the Performing Arts in New York City. The live broadcast will be preceded by a streaming preshow on Pluto TV at which some awards will be handed out.

Driving up to the home, its aged copper turrets come into focus first. Patinated copper accents and stout towers on either side of the copper front door speak to its medieval influences. Two sets of glass doors lead to a balcony with a pretty view over the grounds. Similar to Anna and Elsa’s regal residence in Disney’s Frozen, a castle in Wyoming—that’s right, Wyoming—doubles as a whimsical residence with breathtaking mountain views. Dubbed Heiner Castle, the palatial pad sits on a majestic 40-acre estate in the agricultural community of Bedford, which is near the border with Idaho at the foot of the snow-capped Wyoming Range and is beloved for its rural beauty. For a cool $14 million, now you can be king, queen, or just the non-royal owner of the eye-catching castle.

Old-Style Architecture Meets Modern-Day Luxury

In all, 7,000 cubic yards of concrete were bought up the mountain to build the 9,470 square feet of living space with five bedrooms, seven baths and extensive other living spaces. Through the home’s corridors, you’ll come across plenty of arched doorways made of stone or wood, while vaulted ceilings add volume to the private family spaces such as the informal dining area and kitchen. Private chefs and amateur cooks alike will appreciate the kitchen’s two islands, two ovens, and both electric and gas stovetops. The two towers are just one of Heiner Castle’s many unique features.

It’s maintained to look that way thanks to special limestone blocks that release salt, which keeps the copper oxidized. The beefy balusters and handrails are white limestone sourced from the same quarry as Solomon’s temple in Jerusalem, while the fireplace stone was sourced from North Dakota. It’s like some sort of chameleon stone, changing colors throughout the day depending on the light.

Compass Real Estate Agent Patty Speakman, who co-listed the property with Kunkle, loves the property’s spectacular views, which are visible from each of the castle’s many windows. The shop also includes plenty of space for mundane treasures like boats, snowmobiles and tractors. The 40 room, 100-foot-tall Heiner Castle -- which took 8 years to build -- is listed for $14 million. Other highlights include a formal dining room, an office, and a fitness/game room. Given the size of the home, the primary bedroom is on the small side (and could use a bit of updating) but does benefit from a wood-burning fireplace.

While the castle’s appearance feels true to castles of old, there are plenty of modern amenities in the Heiner Castle. The tunnels connect the castle to the shop, where there’s a 30-by-30-foot vault — just right for storing chests of dragon’s gold, perhaps, or pirate treasure. Just laying the 1 million bricks on the original part of the castle, which covers 25,000 square feet of land with 40 rooms, took eight years, Kunkle said. The roof is made of thick copper which has weathered an eye-catching shade of green.

“Wobble” lacks some of the punch that the rest of the songs possess; a minimal guitar-driven beat is catchy enough but does feels flat. Despite his reliance on guest vocalists on singles, Flo Rida is perfectly capable of lacing hooks on his lonesome – “My House” (the song) proves this. If you aren’t a fan of R&B singers cashing in on the EDM movement, Chris Brown’s arm-waggling performance on “Here It Is” isn’t going to impress, and provides nothing new to fans either way. "My House" is a song by American rapper Flo Rida from his 2015 EP of the same name. The song was released as the album's third official single on October 13, 2015 in the US. The song samples the drum break from "Impeach the President" by The Honey Drippers.

My House Lyrics

The track currently setting charts alight is “G.D.F.R.” (which stands for Going Down For Real) – showing that this generation are now too lazy to read more than three words in their song titles. The acronym isn’t used once, and despite it being nothing more than a dance song with Flo Rida tying the drop together with his forgettable rhymes, it’s impossible to ignore something so catchy. The same can be said for “I Don’t Like It, I Love It” which sees Robin Thicke try to balance his books with his next stab at a monumental summer anthem. Purists may scoff at Flo Rida’s music, but there’s no denying that the dude can rap. There aren’t many tracks of his with verses that pop fans can recite willy-nilly, and while he’s no Pharoahe Monch or Black Thought, he does drop some flows that ride the beat well. Whether you enjoy Flo Rida’s rhymes or not, his choice of music to rap to is divisive and pushes the boundaries of what many would consider Hip-Hop.

It’s fun, good-natured music you can dance to, and is well suited to the imminent BBQ season. Because only one of the tracks has been whored by the radio and music video channels. Ask me if I enjoy this EP later in the year when the Robin Thicke single has been abused more than a Flo Rida whistle sample, and I may be sick of Mr. Rida and his industry formulae. He hasn’t built a career around great, memorable LPs so as far as a throwaway slice of accessible rap goes, there’s few doing it as well. In an interview with Rolling Stone, Flo Rida stated, “I love music that tells a story. It’s anthem music, but it’s also for the people who’ve been down and out and come out a winner.” This message of triumph over adversity has made “My House” an inspiration to countless fans who look to music for hope and motivation.

First, “GDFR” was released in October 2014, but didn’t reach its peak of 8 until April 2015.

Finally, “My House” was released as the third single in October 2015, but didn’t reach its peak of 4 until March 2016. This message of positivity has resonated with listeners around the world. As of 2021, “My House” has over 1 billion views on YouTube and has been certified six-times platinum in the US. The song has also been featured in countless movies, TV shows, and commercials, making it an enduring cultural touchstone.

The song celebrates the everyday experiences that bring people together and acknowledges the hard work and perseverance that it takes to achieve success. Flo Rida isn’t the only major star to have performed at this event, with previous spring concert headliners including Jack Harlow, Loud Luxury, and Lil Baby. “If you’re going to a concert, why aren’t you up in the front, why are you in the back where its all crowded? Be in the front where you can make eye contact with them and maybe be pulled on stage,” she explained.

At its core, “My House” is a song about personal empowerment and ownership. The chorus, which repeats the phrase “Welcome to my house,” serves as a declaration of someone who is proud of their domain and wants to share it with others. For many listeners, this message resonates beyond the realm of real estate or material possessions.

Instead, the song is about feeling confident in who you are and what you have to offer. Flo Rida had been spinning his Miami bass roots and singsong flows into pop-rap gold for a decade by 2015’s My House. And the title track slows things down with a breakbeat, from The Honey Drippers’ “Impeach the President,” that evokes ’90s boom bap. It was released on April 7, 2015, by Poe Boy Entertainment and Atlantic Records.[4] It is Flo Rida's first release to feature original material since Wild Ones (2012).

“Wobble” lacks some of the punch that the rest of the songs possess; a minimal guitar-driven beat is catchy enough but does feels flat. Despite his reliance on guest vocalists on singles, Flo Rida is perfectly capable of lacing hooks on his lonesome – “My House” (the song) proves this. If you aren’t a fan of R&B singers cashing in on the EDM movement, Chris Brown’s arm-waggling performance on “Here It Is” isn’t going to impress, and provides nothing new to fans either way. "My House" is a song by American rapper Flo Rida from his 2015 EP of the same name. The song was released as the album's third official single on October 13, 2015 in the US. The song samples the drum break from "Impeach the President" by The Honey Drippers.

They condemned Biden for his support of Israel’s military campaign and Western news outlets for what they said was undercoverage and misrepresentation of the conflict. Trump did not attend Saturday’s dinner and never attended the annual banquet as president.

Apply for state rental assistance immediately at housingiskey.com. Even though you can’t be evicted for nonpayment, your landlord can still sue you for the rent or could try to garnish your wages. Angelenos who lost income in the pandemic can apply again for help paying the rent debt they’ve accrued. You should not be evicted for not paying your rent if COVID-19 was the cause of your financial hardship. Depending on where you live, you may enjoy stronger protections than elsewhere in the state.

The majority party members and the minority party members meet in separate caucuses to select their leader. Third parties rarely have had enough members to elect their own leadership, and independents will generally join one of the larger party organizations to receive committee assignments. Article 1, Section 2 of the Constitution provides for both the minimum and maximum sizes for the House of Representatives.

Column: We’re wiping out the Southern California steelhead trout. Time to fix that

All southern senators except Andrew Johnson resigned their seats at the beginning of the war, and therefore the Senate did not hold the balance of power between North and South during the war. The council had been under enormous pressure to approve substantial new tenant protections by the end of January, when the city’s emergency COVID-19 anti-eviction rules were set to expire. The new policy will block evictions until February 2024 for tenants who have unauthorized pets or who added residents who aren’t listed on leases. Landlords will also have to serve a 30-day “notice to cure” before evicting a tenant for unauthorized occupants or pets, giving the tenant the opportunity to fix the issue. Some renters, including those in rent-stabilized units, already have “just cause” eviction protections, but making them universal expands the protections to about 400,000 additional units, according to the city’s Housing Department. This is one of the most significant parts of the package because all units in the city are now covered by the protections.

That translates to less than $66,250 for an individual or $94,600 for a family of four in L.A. County could not extend its eviction moratorium for residential tenants but could do so for commercial tenants. Your rental assistance application should trigger a state protection against eviction for nonpayment of rent. But that doesn’t mean a judge will automatically dismiss the case if your landlord brings eviction proceedings.

Many elements of the Contract did not pass Congress, were vetoed by President Bill Clinton, or were substantially altered in negotiations with Clinton. The Republicans retook the House in 2011, with the largest shift of power since the 1930s.[14] However, the Democrats retook the house in 2019, which became the largest shift of power to the Democrats since the 1970s. In the 2022 elections, Republicans took back control of the House, winning a slim majority. Under the Articles of Confederation, the Congress of the Confederation was a unicameral body with equal representation for each state, any of which could veto most actions.

Each state is entitled to at least one representative, however small its population. Regional conflict was most pronounced over the issue of slavery. One example of a provision repeatedly supported by the House but blocked by the Senate was the Wilmot Proviso, which sought to ban slavery in the land gained during the Mexican–American War. Conflict over slavery and other issues persisted until the Civil War (1861–1865), which began soon after several southern states attempted to secede from the Union. The war culminated in the South's defeat and in the abolition of slavery.

The U.S. House of Representatives is the lower house of Congress and plays a vital role, along with the Senate, in the process of moving proposed legislation to law. The bicameral relationship between the two bodies is vital to the American system of checks and balances that the Founding Fathers of the United States envisioned when writing the U.S. The House of Representatives is part of the Legislative branch of government. In 1861, the Confederate States of America adopted a six-year term for their president and vice president and barred the president from seeking re-election. That innovation was endorsed by many American politicians after the Civil War, most notably by Rutherford B. Hayes in his inaugural address.

Other floor leaders are chosen by the Democratic Caucus or the Republican Conference, depending on whichever party has more voting members. In the United States, term limits restrict the number of terms of office an officeholder may serve. At the federal level, the president of the United States can serve a maximum of two four-year terms, limited by the 22nd Amendment to the United States Constitution. Some State government offices are also term-limited, including executive, legislative, and judicial offices.

Rep. Roger Reedy, R-Windsor, said voters should be informed of the current struggles imposed by term limits and allowed to make their own informed decisions. The United States is also divided into 435 congressional districts with a population of about 760,000 each. Each district elects a representative to the House of Representatives for a two-year term. A representative must be at least 25, a U.S. citizen for at least seven years, and live in the state he or she represents.

Each member of the House represents a set number of constituents. Congress has created a wide variety of temporary and permanent commissions to serve as advisory bodies for investigative or policy-related issues, or to carry out administrative, interparliamentary, or commemorative tasks. Such commissions are typically created by either law or House resolution, and may be composed of House members, private citizens, or a mix of both. In some cases, the commissions are entities of the House or Congress itself; in other cases, they are crafted as independent entities within the legislative branch. The House will sometimes form a special or select committee for a short time period and specific purpose, frequently an investigation. All committees have websites where they post information about the legislation they are drafting.

Due to the expense and the obvious political downside, California did not keep verbatim records of actual speeches made by members of the Assembly and Senate until the video feed began. As a result, reconstructing legislative intent outside of an act's preamble is extremely difficult in California for legislation passed before the 1990s. Interestingly, although the Senate is sometimes referred to as the “upper body,” and the House as the “lower body,” the two legislative bodies hold the same amount of power within the U.S. system. Both must agree to, vote on and adopt pieces of identical legislation (known as bills) in order for the legislation to become law.

Once the moratorium ends, tenants could be evicted if they don’t pay the following month’s rent. The city of Los Angeles’ eviction moratorium for residential and commercial tenants could last for at least another year. California residents may still be able to protect themselves against eviction if they file an application for rental assistance. Here are some pointers for how to navigate the complex landscape of COVID-19 eviction rules.

The chairs of House committees, particularly influential standing committees such as Appropriations, Ways and Means, and Rules, are powerful but not officially part of the House leadership hierarchy. Until the post of majority leader was created, the chair of Ways and Means was the de facto majority leader. If passed, this issue would go before the voters for them to decide if they want to alter the current rules surrounding term limits.

He specifically put forth the idea of congressional term limits and suggested a national constitutional convention be used to accomplish the amendment, since the Congress would be unlikely to propose and adopt any amendment that limits its own power. The late 19th and early 20th centuries also saw a dramatic increase in the power of the speaker of the House. The rise of the speaker's influence began in the 1890s, during the tenure of Republican Thomas Brackett Reed. While the minority leader was the head of the minority party, the majority leader remained subordinate to the speaker. The speakership reached its zenith during the term of Republican Joseph Gurney Cannon, from 1903 to 1911.

This law will apply only to a relatively narrow sliver of the city’s rental stock because the city’s rent stabilization ordinance and statewide rent cap provisions already prohibit such rent increases for most units. Approximately 84,000 units built since 2008 will be covered under the law, according to the city’s Housing Department. One important thing to note here is that the threshold isn’t based on a tenant’s individual monthly rent. “Fair market rent” is a set figure established every year for the region by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development, based on the number of bedrooms in the apartment. The amount that a tenant owes will have to exceed one month of “fair market rent” before they can be evicted for nonpayment.

At that time, one-third of the Senate and every seat in the House of Representatives is up for election. Besides the representative from each state, there are a small number of delegates and a resident commission. There are several important leadership positions in the House of Representatives.

Furthermore, congressional tradition holds that the House of Representatives originates appropriation bills. Seats vacated during a term are filled through special elections, unless the vacancy occurs closer to the next general election date than a pre-established deadline. The term of a member chosen in a special election usually begins the next day, or as soon as the results are certified. A separate law will require landlords to pay relocation fees if rent is increased by more than 10%, or 5% plus inflation. This law is already in effect, and the rules will apply after six months of living in a unit or when a lease expires, whichever comes first. The overall legislation package will be particularly significant for tenants who live in apartments that don’t fall under the city’s rent stabilization ordinance, which generally applies only to apartments built before October 1978.

The Republican Party's majority was slightly reduced in 2016, as Democrats picked up six seats. The U.S. House of Representatives has chosen the winner of a presidential election on two occasions—1800 and 1824. Special elections will be held during the 118th Congress to replace members of Congress who leave office for any reason.

The current interpretation of the constitutional language concerning term limits is that a lawmaker can be elected to eight years in the Missouri House and eight years in the Missouri Senate, but cannot serve longer than that in either chamber. Term limits for state officials have existed since colonial times. In the Senate however, the majority has the power to schedule when various bills come to the floor for voting but a single Senator can slow legislation from coming to the floor for a vote. Since debate in the Senate is not concluded until 60 senators vote for a cloture motion to approve a bill for consideration, the majority must also coordinate with the minority part to set the rules for debate on legislation. Under this system, legislation can be debated for one or two weeks on the Senate floor alone. The Constitution provides that the House may choose its own speaker.[50] Although not explicitly required by the Constitution, every speaker has been a member of the House.

The speaker is the presiding officer of the House but does not preside over every debate. Instead, they delegate the responsibility of presiding to other members in most cases. The presiding officer sits in a chair in the front of the House chamber.

Among other duties, representatives introduce bills and resolutions, offer amendments and serve on committees. The number of representatives with full voting rights is 435, a number set by Public Law 62-5 on August 8, 1911, and in effect since 1913. The number of representatives per state is proportionate to population. The states of Washington and California use a similar (though not identical) system to that used by Louisiana. In most states, major party candidates for each district are nominated in partisan primary elections, typically held in spring to late summer. Exceptions can result in so-called floor fights—convention votes by delegates, with outcomes that can be hard to predict.

For that situation the House minority leader can play the role of a de facto "leader of the opposition", often more so than the Senate minority leader, due to the more partisan nature of the House and the greater role of leadership. Speakers serve as chairs of their party's steering committee, which is responsible for assigning party members to other House committees. The speaker chooses the chairs of standing committees, appoints most of the members of the Rules Committee, appoints all members of conference committees, and determines which committees consider bills.

They vote on bills, speak with constituents and other groups, and review constituent mail, press clips and various reports. Work can continue into the evening with receptions or fundraising events. Before members are assigned to committees, each committee’s size and the proportion of Republicans to Democrats must be decided by the party leaders. The total number of committee slots allotted to each party is approximately the same as the ratio between majority party and minority party members in the full chamber. Most committee work is performed by twenty standing committees, each of which has jurisdiction over a specific set of issues, such as Agriculture or Foreign Affairs.

Use GovTrack to find out who represents you in Congress, what bills they have sponsored, and how they voted. Although this process means that only a fraction of proposed legislation actually becomes law, the framers of the Constitution wanted careful deliberation in which diverse views are heard and our rights as citizens are represented and defended. Committees in both houses review bills that have been introduced by their colleagues, holding hearings in which their merits are debated.

The party with a majority of seats in the House is known as the majority party. The speaker, committee chairs, and some other officials are generally from the majority party; they have counterparts (for instance, the "ranking members" of committees) in the minority party. The first proposal, from Virginians Edmund Randolph and James Madison, called for seven-year Senate terms. Citing Maryland’s system, Randolph and Madison argued that a long term would create stability in the Senate and provide an effective check on the more democratic House of Representatives. George Read of Delaware proposed an even longer term of nine years. Madison endorsed this long term, arguing it would contribute to the “wisdom and virtue” required for the body to counter “symptoms of a levelling spirit” among the people.

Representatives and delegates serve for two-year terms, while a resident commissioner (a kind of delegate) serves for four years. A term starts on January 3 following the election in November. The U.S. Constitution requires that vacancies in the House be filled with a special election. The term of the replacement member expires on the date that the original member's would have expired. Under Article I, Section 2 of the Constitution, seats in the House of Representatives are apportioned among the states by population, as determined by the census conducted every ten years.
