No one has all the leadership position in Congress. The party that has a majority of members in Congress have "Majority" positions and the party with the minority members has "Minority" positions. Here is the leadership structure of the Senate for the majority party: President Pro Tempore--elected by the majority party; Majority Leader-leads the party; Majority Whip--assists the leader; Chairman of the Conference--presides over all meets of the majority party; Policy Committee--schedules legislation; Steering Committee--assigns senators to committees. Minority Party: Minority Leader; Minority Whip; Chairman of the Conference--presides over meetings; Policy Committee--makes recommendations on party policy; Committee on Committees--appoints minority Senators to committees. The House of Representatives: Speaker of the House--elected by majority party; the other leadership roles are similar to those in the Senate--Majority Leader, Minority Leader, Majority Whip, etc.
They help plan the party's legislative program, steer important bills through the House, and make sure the chairpersons of the many committees finish work on bills important to the party. The majority leader is the floor leader of his or her political party in the House and, like the Speaker, is elected by the majority party.
