The Majority Leader is the majority party's chief strategist and floor spokesman in the House of Representatives. The Republican party is in the majority in the House. He was the owner of a Pest Control company when first elected to Congress in 1984.

PREMISE OF THE SUIT
HEARTS are members of either the U.S. House of Representatives or the U.S. Supreme Court. The House initiates (along with the Senate) the laws that govern our nation. The number of House members per state is divided roughly on its population and is limited to 435 members. The most powerful members of the House are the Speaker, the majority leadership and the committee chairs, which are always members of the majority party. Chairmen of the subcommittees of Appropriations are known as 'Cardinals' due to the power they wield over the allocation of federal funds. House members serve for two-year terms and are in power because you voted for them.
