The Legislature is the branch of the White House charged with creating and maintaining the statute laws of our Government. It is comprised of the House of Representatives, which contains employees who represent states and territories around the country, as well as the District of Columbia (Washington D.C.). The House of Representatives is responsible in its primary authority to create, debate and enact statute law of the White House.
Members of the Legislature are all equal in terms of the basic privileges in the branch; each member has the right to write, draft and introduce bills (which are proposals for new laws or changes in laws), vote on measures up for consideration by the House of Representatives, and expressing their opinions in debates. Through debates, votes and structured procedures, this branch ensures that all changes to structure, rights and obligations are transparent and democratically handled within the community.
The branch is led by the Speaker of the House of Representatives, whom of which is appointed by the President.
