Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The Speaker of the House is the presiding officer and has the responsibility of maintaining order and smooth passage of majority-backed bills in the House of Representatives. The other options, such as majority leader and majority whip, may have significant leadership roles in their respective parties, but they do not preside over the House or have the same level of responsibility as the Speaker.
