Who leads the House of Representatives?

The whole House elects a Speaker, who presides over debate and sends bills to committees. Under the Speaker are a majority leader, a minority leader and whips who count votes.

How are the House and Senate different?

The chart compares who presides, who plans the schedule, who sets debate limits, how a long debate ends and the result of a tie vote. Students then decide who acts on a bill next.
