The Rules Committee decides when a bill is taken from the calendar and discussed on the House floor.
Before most bills can reach the floor of the House, they must clear the Rules Committee. Also, the committee decides whether and under what conditions the full House will consider a measure.
The House Rules Committee determines when bills will be heard by the floor. Accordingly, if the Committee is against a particular bill, said bill won't be put on the calendar. So, in essence, the bill stays there until it is put on the calendar- which may be never. Furthermore, the Rules Committee could also have "closed rule" on the bill, meaning it will go to the floor, but it cannot be amended. Due to varying opinions, if a bill can't be modified on the House floor, it will ultimately die there.
They represent the house by determining what rule other bills can come to the floor. The Rules-Committee permits immediate consideration to legislative measures and prescribes conditions for debate. They can kill a bill by just not allowing it to move to the next stage after it has been placed on the calendar.
If someone set the length of the floor debate, it would be the Speaker of the House.

A bill can originate in the Senate, and a bill can also originate in the House of Representatives. Wherever it starts, the other house gets a shot at debating the bill as well.
The Speaker of the House is the most powerful leader of the house. He or she decides which committees consider bills that are proposed, and he or she has the major influence on which bills come to the floor. The Speaker can vote on all matters, but to participate in debate, they have to appoint a temporary chairmen to take his place.
If it starts in the Senate, then after the House it goes to The President for his approval. If it starts in the House, the Senate must then vote on it before The President sees it.
