To estimate the cost per minute to run the U.S. House of Representatives, we can look at its annual operating budget and divide it by the total number of minutes in a year during which the House is in session. The budget primarily covers salaries, office expenses, and administrative costs.
From GPT:
1. Total hours in session per year = 140 days × 8 hours/day = 1,120 hours
2. Total minutes in session per year = 1,120 hours × 60 minutes/hour = 67,200 minutes
3. Cost per minute = Total annual budget / Total minutes in session
4. Cost per minute = $1.3 billion / 67,200 minutes ≈ $19,345 per minute
