Suppose you walk into the Capitol in Washington and ask to interview the most prominent person in the entire Congress. If they accept, you'll get an appointment with the A. president pro tempore of the Senate. B. Speaker of the House. C. chair of the House Appropriations Committee. D. vice president of the United States.

Sagot :

The correct answer is B (but D could also work...)

Congress has two houses: the senate and the house of representatives. The Answer A, president pro tempore of the Senate is wrong- this person is not even the most important person in senate, only the second most important. In fact the highest person in the senate is the Vice President of the United States. On the other hand, the highest person in the house of representatives is the Speaker of the House. So we know it's either B or D.  Now, the question is tricky, as neither of the chambers of the senate is officially more importnat. Additionally vice-president is higher in the line to the succession to the President's office.

However, it is usually assumed that the Speaker represents the Congress as a whole, and that's why i'd go with B.

Correct answer choice is :


B) Speaker of the House.


Explanation:


The Speaker's most leading role is that of the presiding officer of the House. In this position, the Speaker is authorized by House rules to conduct proceedings on the House floor, including the authority to acknowledge Members on the floor to speak or make changes and the power to elect Members to conversation committees.
