What color is the Australia's senate?
Because that was the colour used in the upper house in Britain
Can the speaker of the house end a filibuster?
No. The filibuster is a procedure used in the Senate. The Speaker of the House is the leader of the House of Representatives.
What practice is used to fill positions in the house and senate?
popular vote
Why are filibusters not allowed in the house?
Filibusters do not occur in the House because House rules provide for limited amounts of time for each Representative to speak. In the Senate, there are no rules regarding how long a Senator may speak, so a filibuster may be used, unless three-fifths of Senators agree to invoke cloture, that is, end debate on an issue. The above answer is almost straight out of my textbook. Just wanted to make note of that:)
What are three hurdles congress faces in passing bill?
A bill is a proposed law that is introduced to Congress by a member of the house or senate and it is assigned to a committee which is then assigned to a subcommittee. After the subcommittee performs studies, holds hearings, makes revisions, and approves it, the bill goes to the full committee. Full committee may amend or rewrite the bill, before deciding whether to send it to the floor of the House or Senate or to kill it. If approved, the bill is reported to the full House/Senate and placed on the calendar. In the House, the rules committee issues a rule governing debate on the House floor and sends the bill to the full house. In the senate, leaders of both parties schedule debate on the bill. The bill is then debated by full House/Senate, amendments are offered and a vote is taken. If the bill passes in a different version from that passed in the Senate or House, it is sent to a conference committee. The conference committee composed of members of both house and senate meet to iron out differences between the bills. The compromise bill is returned to both the house and senate for a vote. Full House/Senate votes on conference committee version. If it passes, the bill is sent to the president. The President signs or vetoes the bill. Congress may override a veto by a two-thirds vote in both the House and Senate. Then it's a LAW! from Government in America George C. Edwards, Martin P Wattenberg, and Robert L Lineberry
When are conference committees used?
Conference committees are used when the Senate and the House pass the same bill, but each house has made different addendums and changes to the bill. Conference committees composed of select members of both houses of Congress are then called to work out the differences in the two versions of the bill. This compromise bill is then sent to each house for a revote.
Is it true The House is considered to be the upper house of congress becauseit has more members than the senate?
Not really; actually, I believe it is quite the opposite. Since there are less members in the Senate, it is harder to get elected. However, neither one is really considered the "upper house" like the House of Lords used to be in Great Britain.
When does the flag fly over the house and senate?
