What does Bicameral mean in American Law?

The definition of Bicameral in the law of the United States, as defined by the lexicographer Arthur Leff in his legal dictionary is:

“Two chambered,” i.e., a legislature which has two houses, e.g., Commons and Lords, House and Senate, elected or otherwise constituted on non-identical principles. Each chamber, if it is to be seen as part of the legislature, must have some role in validating at least some kinds of legislation (e.g., the House of Lords” vestigial power to delay the enactment of English laws), but the system is still bicameral if only one house has a role in some matters (e.g., the U.S. Senate”s sole power over treaty ratifications).
