2)District redistribution:States that are entitled to more than one Representative are divided into single-member districts.This has been a federal statutory requirement since 1967.Typically,states redraw these district lines after each census,though they may do so at other times. Each state determines its own district boundaries,either through legislation or through non-partisan panels. Gerrymandering is a practice that attempts to establish a political advantage for a particular party or group by manipulating geographic boundaries to create partisan or incumbent-protected districts

3)Member officials:The party with a majority of seats in the House is known as the majority party.The next- largest party is the minority party.The Speaker, committee chairs,and some other officials are generally from the majority party;they have counterparts (for instance,the "ranking members"of committees)in the minority party.Speakers have a role both as a leader of the House and the leader of their party (which need not be the majority party;theoretically,a member of the minority party could be elected as Speaker with the support of a fraction of members of the majority party). Under the Presidential Succession Act(1947),the Speaker is second in the line of presidential succession behind the Vice President

Each party elects a floor leader,who is known as the Majority Leader or Minority Leader.The Minority Leader heads his or her party in the House,and the Majority Leader is his or her party's second-highest ranking official,behind the Speaker.Party leaders decide what legislation members of their party should either support or oppose. Each party also elects a whip,who works to ensure that the party's members vote as the party leadership desires. The whip is supported by chief deputy whips.After the whips,the next ranking official in the House party's leadership is the Party Conference Chair(styled as the Republican Conference Chair and Democratic Caucus Chair)

Representatives are generally less independent of party leaders than senators,and usually vote as the leadership directs.Incentives to cooperate include the leadership's power to select committee chairs,determine committee assignments,and provide re-election support in the primary and general elections.As a result,the leadership plays a much greater role in the House than in the Senate, an example of why the atmosphere of the House is regarded by many as more partisan. When the Presidency and Senate are controlled by a different party from the one controlling the House,the Speaker can become the de facto "leader of the opposition."Since the Speaker is a partisan officer with substantial power to control the business of the House, the position is often used for partisan advantage
