b. False
If a representative of Congress dies before their two-year term is up, a special election is NOT held to fill their seat. Instead, based on the Constitution, the House of Representatives follows the process outlined in the Seventeenth Amendment. According to this amendment, the governor of the state where the vacancy occurred has the power to appoint a replacement to serve until the next regular election. Once the regular election is held, the voters in that district will choose a representative to serve the rest of the unexpired term.
