Presiding Officers The Senate MAJORITY PARTY = REPUBLICAN Leader = The President of the Senate, The only position in Congress that is NOT an actual member of Congress, because the Constitution says it is always the Vice President of the US – (for this reason we have a separate “day to day” leader”) The Day to Day power in the Senate therefore belongs to the President Pro Tempore (day to day leader) The President Pro Tempore will belong to the Majority party-

Presiding Officers Must belong to the MAJORITY party The House Majority Party = Republican The House of Representatives = The Speaker of the House. Must belong to the MAJORITY party Currently REPUBLICAN

Party Officers for House of Reps Speaker of the House is the top day-to-day leader for the House of Reps (highest in House) House = Paul Ryan (John Boehner just resigned) Majority Floor Leader (does most of speaking for their party) = Kevin McCarthy (R) Minority Floor Leader (does most of speaking for their party) = Nancy Pelosi (D) Majority Whip (runs around and communicates with the other party )= Steve Scalise (R) Minority Whip (runs around and communicates with the other party ) =Steny Hoyer(D)
