The Speaker's Chair

The Speaker's Chair is a special seat used in legislative bodies like the U.S. House of Representatives. It is where the Speaker, who leads and moderates discussions, sits during proceedings. The chair symbolizes authority, impartiality, and the position of overseeing debates, enforcing rules, and managing votes. Its design often reflects tradition and institutional authority, and it’s typically positioned at the front of the chamber to facilitate leadership and order during legislative sessions.
