The House is rooted in the principle of direct elections and is unique among all branches and bodies of the federal government as without exception, the people's voice.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I like the House. The House is where you can effect the most change. It's such a fast-moving dynamic body compared to the Senate.
You know, we have three branches of government. We have a House. We have a Senate. We have a President.
It is the responsibility of the government to ensure the House functions.
A woman's place is in the house - the House of Representatives.
Being Speaker of the House is a really tough spot.
It's got to be both houses and the people coming together in unanimous decision when you start messing with the Constitution.
The Senate was an odd compromise between the founders and the early leaders of the republic who wanted a single house which was based on popular sovereignty representing the people and those founders who wanted two houses, the upper house, the Senate, being the more aristocratic.
The government can only be brought down because it alienates several parties in the House.
I maintain that the House is bound by the Constitution to receive the petitions; after which, it will take such method of deciding upon them as reason and principle shall dictate.
Though the views of members of the House and Senate are as divergent as the people we represent, we bear the responsibility to work through our political differences and get things done. That's our job.
