The bicameral federal legislature of the US (8)

I believe the answer is:

congress

(Other definitions for congress that I've seen before include "US legislative body" , "Law-making body of USA" , "Formal meeting" , "old-style commerce" , "Legislature - large gathering" .)

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
