Answer:

The Speaker leads the House; the Vice President leads the Senate.

Step-by-step explanation:

-The Speaker of the United States House of Representatives assumes the functions of representing the House of Representatives. He usually does not preside over the debates personally, instead he delegates this function to another member of the majority party. In addition to presiding over the chamber, he has administrative and procedural functions, and remains a representative of his own district.

-The vice president acts as president of the United States Senate but does not have the right to vote except to resolve ties, as prescribed in Article I of the Constitution of the United States.
