The suggested answer above would be a more accurate translation of: 'De Senaat en het Huis van Verteenwoordigers hebben samen de wetgevende macht in Nederland.'? My translation: 'The First and Second Chamber together, have the legislative power in the Netherlands.' was accepted and being a more direct translation of the given Dutch sentence, I wonder why this is not the preferred answer (as opposed to the one above)?
It's a transliteration because the senate in the Netherlands is called Eerst Kamer and the House of Representatives as Tweede Kamer, not senaat and het huis van verteenwoordigers.

Waarom is het niet goed om 'together' voor 'have' te zetten in plaats van na ' power'

This one I agree with you on, together should come before have as it's better English. At least, that's how one would read it in the newspapers here.
