The size of the House prohibits lengthy debate and a prolonged amendment process. In order to complete its work on legislation, the House Rules Committee imposes strict rules on floor debates and amendments. These formal rules govern when and how certain types of legislation may be brought to the floor and what types of amendments may be added. For instance, an amendment in the House must be related to the issue under discussion at that time. In the Senate, on the other hand, lengthy debate is normal. The purpose of such debate is to explore an issue's aspects thoroughly before deciding on a course of action.
