The speaker does the following.RustyShackleford or anyone else who knows. I’ll ask public so anyone else who doesn’t know gets the answer too.
Why is the speaker of the house important? Are they just the main voice of the house?
1. Controls who chairs committees
2. Decides how bills get brought to the floor for a vote.
3. Is third in line to the President
4. Sets rules and regulations for how the house conducts its business (I.e. Nancy required metal detectors and no guns and allowed for Virtual votes during Pandemic)
These are just a few things.
