The speaker of the house is decided by electing a person from the majority party within congress. The speaker has the duty of deciding the congressional agenda, which bills are allowed to be voted on and how long congress deliberates on bills. This means that if they do not want a particular bill to pass they can decide not to bring it to a vote.
