They help plan the party's legislative program, steer important bills through the House, and make sure the chairpersons of the many committees finish work on bills important to the party. The majority leader is the floor leader of his or her political party in the House and, like the Speaker, is elected by the majority party.

The house majority leader is elected from within from the party who hold the majority of seats. Their role varies depending upon the style of the Speaker of the House and the political makeup of the majority caucus. Traditionally they had been the chairman of the House Ways and Means Committee which generates bills of revenue.

The majority leader schedules business on the floor, plans party strategy, and attempts to keep the majority party as united as possible when casting roll call votes. Majority leaders receive a higher salary than other members, a car and driver, and a separate leadership office and staff within the Capitol.

The House Majority Leader acts as the floor leader of the party. The Leader works with the Speaker of the House and the Majority Whip to coordinate ideas and maintain support for legislation. The role of the majority leader has been defined by history and tradition. This officer is charged with scheduling legislation for floor consideration; managing all House committees and chairmen; planning the daily, weekly, and annual legislative agendas; consulting with Members to gauge party sentiment; and, in general, working to advance the goals of the majority party.

He is the leader of his party in the House. To my knowledge he doesn't have any official duties. He may be responsible for assigning the minority's share of committee seats?
