Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The majoritarian nature of the House means that the majority party can control the flow of legislation and prioritize their own agenda, giving the Speaker of the House and other House leaders more power. The larger size of the House and the constitutional position of the House do lend some additional power, but it is primarily the majoritarian nature that distinguishes it from the Senate. The State of the Union address being delivered in the House chamber is not directly related to the relative power of House leaders compared to Senate leaders.
