What branch of the legislature has more flexible rules house or senate?
The Senate has way more lax rules than the House. Mainly because the House has a Rules Committee and regulates who will speak when. In the Senate, there is no Speaker (it should be the VP but he has no true power, and hardly attends) therefore less rules.

The Senate has fewer rules and a less formal atmosphere because it is smaller than the House.

Does the senate have more rules governing it than congress?
For starters, I believe that by congress you were referring to the House. Because Congress is made up by both the House and the Senate. The answer is NO. the Senate actually has less rules than that of the House because it is a much smaller body of people that are easier to manage.
Which house of congress has a strict set of rules for debating bills?
The House of Representatives has much stricter rules than the Senate (mostly because the House has so many more members that without strict rules, it would be almost impossible to accomplish anything).
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:)

The House Rules Committee places the bill on a calendar for floor debate in the House or the Senate.
