	United States Senate Majority Leader - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Senate Majority Leader is a member of the United States Senate who is elected by the party conference which holds the majority in the Senate to serve as the chief Senate spokesman for his or her party and to manage and schedule the legislative and executive business of the Senate.
		The term Floor Leaders refers to both the Majority Leader and the Minority Leader.
		The Majority leader customarily serves as the chief representative and "face" of his or her party in Senate, and sometimes even in all of Congress if the House of Representatives and thus office of Speaker of the House is controlled by the opposition party.

	U.S. Senate: Art & History Home > People > Party Leadership > Majority and Minority Leaders and Party Whips
		The Senate Republican and Democratic floor leaders are elected by the members of their party in the Senate at the beginning of each Congress.
		Majority leaders seek to balance the needs of senators of both parties to express their views fully on a bill with the pressures to move the bill as quickly as possible toward enactment.
		These assistant leaders are mainly responsible for counting heads and rounding up party members for votes and quorum calls, and they occasionally stand in for the majority or minority leaders in their absence.

	Scheduling
		The Majority Leader's right to preferential recognition already has been mentioned, as has Senators' willingness to relinquish to him the right to make the motion that the standing rules provide for deciding the order of legislative business--namely, the motion that the Senate proceed to the consideration of a particular bill.
		Even before the bill can reach the floor, and perhaps face a filibuster, there may be extended debate on the question of whether or not the Senate should even consider the bill at all.
		Senators can even place a "hold" on a bill, although this practice is not recognized in Senate rules or precedents, by which they ask their party's floor leader to object on their behalf to any unanimous consent request to consider the bill, at least until they have been consulted.

	AsiaMedia :: KOREA: Chun Jung-bae elected Uri Party floor leader
		Chun Jung-bae, who favors reform over stability, was elected new floor leader of the majority Uri Party yesterday, signaling the liberal ruling camp would push without delay for rapid changes in Korean society.
		Political analysts also saw the floor leadership result as a victory for Uri Chairman Chung Dong-young and his supporters in a power struggle against a group of former dissidents centered on Kim Geun-tae.
		Since Chung backed floor leader-elect Chun and Kim supported Lee, the election was perceived as a de facto battle between the two top Uri leaders, who are believed likely to enter the Cabinet when impeached President Roh returns to office.

		Opposition GNP leader Rep. Park Geun-hye subdued a possible leadership shake-up of her party by saying she wants incumbent party officials to keep their posts until the party's originally scheduled reshuffle in early February.
		While some members of the GNP insisted floor leader Kim should also take responsibility for his "lack of negotiation skills,'' some argued that it was Kim who scored against the ruling party's hardliners who have been pushing for the scrapping of the anti-communist National Security Law within last year.

		Earlier, as Senate floor leader of the Democratic party, he became one of the most important men in Washington.
		The party's leader in the Senate, Ernest McFarland of Arizona, had been defeated in the election of 1952, and Johnson's years of legislative experience and his connections with most factions of the party recommended him for the post.
		Elected party leader in 1953, Johnson at first had only the minority in the Senate to lead, but in the congressional elections of 1954 the Democrats regained a majority, and they kept it throughout the remainder of Eisenhower's two terms as president.

	U.S. Senate: Senators Home > Senate Leadership
		The "offices" of the majority and the minority leader, as we know them today, are of recent development in the history of the Senate although individual Senators since 1789 have assumed leading roles in the determination of what the Senate would or would not do.
		The power or influence of some Senators, in various periods of our history, to guide or lead their respective parties, or even the Senate itself, in the determination of a legislative program, has been particularly noteworthy.
		These meetings, however, were not invoked to perform as organized political caucuses for the purpose of selecting persons to serve as floor leaders for the parties during the sessions of the Senate until the latter part of the 19th century.
