The majority party (currently Republican) elects leadership for the Senate and the House, including the Senate President and the Speaker of the House. The majority party also creates committee assignments. This means the majority party is able to control which bills are heard (and which bills are not heard).Â

The minority party elects its own leadership but holds significantly less power since it cannot make decisions on bill assignments or committees.Â
