# House rules are generally aimed at defining the actions an individual representative can take, such as limiting representatives to speaking for five minutes or less during a debate.
# The Senate is a deliberative body. Senators handle issues of specific interest to them in their committees, but they also deal with many other issues on the floor, where there is plenty of time for debate.

Is the senate more formal when considering a bill than the house?
It depends what you mean by formal. There are many more formal rules governing House procedure than Senate procedure, mainly due to the higher number of people in the House and the relative seniority and respect that the Senate has. That being said, the formality of the bill discussion relies mainly on who's involved with the bill and to what the bill pertains. The House is usually more formal about everyday bills like OSHA regulations or tariff rates, but bring in an issue like federal funding of abortion and there will probably be some shouting and name-calling in the House as well as the Senate.

Who makes the rules for how the house and senate do their job?
They make the rules at the start of the congressional sessions. The crazy thing about some of the recent rules is now it requires 61 votes to pass a bill rather than a simple majority. For the life of me I can't understand why this was allowed by any member. This is one reason there is a stalemate on most issues.
