The speaker of the House is a full voting member of the House and has the same responsibility for voting that every member has . He is not legally required to vote but his position as leader of his party obligates him to vote the party line on any controversial issue. ( I think maybe you are thinking of the president of the Senate who is not a member and is not allowed to vote except in the case of a tie.)
