The Speaker of the House is elected by the entire body and is always a member of the party with a majority of seats in the House. The leader of the Senate is the Vice President, chosen by the Electoral College when the Presidential Election takes place.

The Speaker of the House is elected by a vote of the members of the House. The Speaker usually belongs to the majority political party, though it's not required. The Constitution also does not require that the Speaker be an elected Member of Congress, however, no non-member has ever been elected Speaker.

The Vice President serves as the Senate Majority Leader.
