The Speaker of The House Of Representatives is both the highest leadership position in the House as well as the holder of the actual power of his/her political party. The President Pro-Tem of the Senate is the equivelant position in the Senate. Both positions are customarily (but not by law) held by the most senior and most powerful members of the majority political party, who vote on who is to be selected to hold the position.

The Speaker of the House

House Majority Leader

House Majority Whip

House Minority Leader

House Minority Whip

....and various chairpersons of their respective committees.

Any House member can preside over daily business to which the Speaker delegates the task, usually of the majority party.

The Vice President or President of the Senate (usually in name only, can break tie votes, and presides over the electoral vote count, but historically most Vice Presidents have avoided the Senate)

The President pro tempore (usually more of an honorary title given to the most senior Senator majority party, but technically the most senior officer in the Senate next to the Vice President, and 4th in the Presidential Line of Succession)

The Senate Majority Leader (de facto the most powerful Senator, politically wields power similar to the Speaker of the House)

The Senate Majority Whip

The Senate Minority Leader

The Senate Minority Whip

,,,,and various chairpersons of their respective committees.

Like the House, any Senator can preside over daily business, usually of the majority party.

Head of the House of Representatives is the Speaker of the House, who at this time is Paul Ryan.

Head of the Senate would be the Vice President of the United States, who at this time is Mike Pence.

When the Vice President is absent from the senate chambers, the President Pro Tempore acts as President of the Senate. The President Pro Tempore is currently Orrin Hatch.
