Élu au début de chaque législature, il n'appartient pas nécessairement au parti au pouvoir, mais il perd son droit de vote et se doit de rester impartial. Au début de chacune de leurs interventions, les députés s'adressent au président de l'assemblée par ces mots: « Mister/Madam Speaker ».Aux États-Unis le président de la Chambre des représentants est le Speaker of the House: il est le chef de file du parti majoritaire et joue le rôle de porte-parole de son parti.
