By tradition, the Speaker is the head of the majority party in the House. This means the Speaker is held responsible for passing legislation supported by the majority party. The Speaker usually has a less prominent role as party leader when the president belongs to the same party. In contrast, the Speakers prominence and public role typically increases when he or she is from a different political party than the president.

(3,622 posts)5. Trump actually had some power over Ryan
...as the President is automatically the head of the Republican Party, and has authority through that channel over other Republicans, including the Speaker. But he doesn't have that channel of authority over Pelosi, and is finding out the hard way that he ain't the boss of her after all.
