This is a misconstrued question, as Congress is the legislative branch of government, separate from the Executive Branch of Government, headed by the President of the United States.
There is no executive branch of the Congress. There are leaders of Congress, chosen by their respective parties, but they have no Executive Authority, only authority given under the United States Constitution, Federal Law and statute or House or Senate Rule (or even party rule).

∙ 14y agoNo one person heads the US Congress, since it is composed of two equal houses - the US Senate and the US House of Representatives.

The Speaker of the House of Representatives is the "head" of that house and is elected by the House Members.
