How the House of Representatives is organized starting with vice president?
The Vice President is not a part of the House of Representatives. The Vice President is Chairman of the Senate. The leader of the House of Representatives is called the Speaker of the House. He is the most prominent member of the majority party. Beneath him is the Whip Majority Leader, or the Representative who presides over the House's meetings in the Speaker's absence. The minority party also has a leader and whip leader; by tradition, these would instantly become the Speaker and Whip Majority Leader if, in the next election, the minority party became the majority.
