Answer to Question 1

d

Answer to Question 2

An ideal response will:
1, Explain that the Speaker presides over the House when it is in session; plays a major role in making committee assignments, which are coveted by all members to ensure their electoral advantage; appoints or plays a key role in appointing the party's legislative leaders and the party leadership staff; and exercises substantial control over which bills get assigned to which committees.
2, Note that the Speaker has a great deal of informal clout inside and outside Congress: When the Speaker's party differs from the president's party, the Speaker is often a national spokesperson for the party.
