Answer:

House of Representatives:

Speaker of the House- Presiding officer for the House of Representatives and leader of the majority party in the House

Decides which members get to speak first in proceedings

Appoints the members to congressional committees

Schedules bills for action

House Majority Leader- Top assistant for the Speaker

Comes from the majority party of the House

Helps to plan legislative agenda

Coordinates with chairpersons of committees

House Majority Whip- Assistant for the majority leader

Mostly responsible for speaking with members to see how they are voting on bills

House Minority Leader and Whip - Comes from the minority party of the House

Same responsibilities as the majority leader and whip

SENATE

Vice President- is the President of the Senate

Cannot take part in Senate debate and can only vote to break a tie

Because this is all the Constitution allows the VP to do, unofficially VPs have been given more responsibilities by the president

If there is a presidential tie in the next election, they break it.

President Pro Tempore- Presides over the Senate when the Vice President is not available

Elected from the majority party

More of an honorary position, typically the longest serving member of the party

Senate Majority Leader- Organizes the schedule of bills through the Senate

Rallies support from the majority party for bills

Senate Minority Leader- Keeps the minority party united in support or opposition to a bill

Senate Majority and Minority Whips- Assistant to the leaders in the same manner as the House

What was a major reason for the U.S. Senate's failure to ratify the Treaty of Versailles?
tamaranim1 [39]

The major reason for the U.S. Senate's failure to ratify the Treaty of Versailles is they objected to the League of Nations, fearing that it would supersede U.S. authority.

<u>Explanation</u>:

<u>"Treaty of Versailles" </u>was signed on 28th June 1919 between Germany and Allied powers to end the war. Treaty of Versailles is the most important agreement that brought World War 1 to end.

Treaty of Versailles failed, as the Allies disagreed to better treat Germany and on the other hand Germany refused to accept the terms of reparations.

U.S. Senate thought that League of Nations would supersede U.S. authority. This led to failure in ratifying Treaty of Versailles.
