How does floor debate on a bill different in the house and senate?
Floor debate in the House of Representatives is typically more structured and time-limited, with strict rules governing speaking times and the order of discussion, often leading to a more rapid decision-making process. In contrast, the Senate allows for more open and extended debate, often permitting filibusters, which can prolong discussions and require a supermajority to end debate. This difference reflects the House's larger size and the Senate's emphasis on extended deliberation. Consequently, the dynamics and outcomes of legislative discussions can vary significantly between the two chambers.
