Why are there less rules in the Senate?

Simple practicality. There are only 100 current members of the Senate, there are well over 400 members in the house. Because of this, the Senate can be conducted more informally because there are less people there, compared to the over 400 members of the House where rules are more strict because there are a lot more people making structured debate and formality needed to prevent chaos.

Why is opening day in the house more complicated that opening day in the senate?

Opening day in the House of Representatives is more complicated than in the Senate due to the larger number of members and the need for a formal organization process. The House must elect a Speaker, establish rules, and assign members to committees, which involves a more extensive logistical coordination. In contrast, the Senate has fewer members and typically operates with established rules from the previous session, making its opening day proceedings more streamlined. Additionally, the Senate’s continuity allows it to focus on legislative business more quickly.

Are there limits on power in the senate?

Yes, there are limits on power in the Senate, primarily defined by the U.S. Constitution, Senate rules, and democratic principles. The Senate operates under a system of checks and balances, with power distributed among its members and subject to procedural rules that require consensus for certain actions, such as cloture to end a filibuster. Additionally, the Senate's authority is checked by the House of Representatives and the executive branch, ensuring no single entity holds absolute power.
