The majority leader of the House of Representatives is chosen by his or her colleagues through a leadership election system. If the Democratic Party holds a majority of seats in the House, then the election is conducted by a body known as the Democratic Caucus, which is comprised of all sitting members of the House who are also members of the Democratic Party. If the Republican Party commands a majority, then the Leader of the House is chosen by the House Republican Conference, which is similarly comprised entirely of Republican members of the House. In many instances, when one party gains control of the House from another, they will elect their Chief Whip to the leadership rather than their former minority leader, who usually goes on to serve as Speaker of the House.
