he is serving the last period of his time in office with an opposition congress. there will be a limit on his abilities to push through his agendas. there will no longer be a rubber stamp congress doing whatever he wants, with no regard to the good of the country.

Hmm, that's a tricky one.\n\nAge is not important.\n\nSeniority IS VERY important.\n\nViews on issues and the president's policies are basically the same thing, but since the question involves Congress, I would say it's not the 4th one.\n\nMy best educated assumption would be seniority.

The United States Senate is one of the two chambers of the Congress of the United States, the other being the House of Representatives. In the Senate, each state is equally represented by two members; as a result, the total membership of the body is currently 100. Senators serve for six-year terms that are staggered so elections are held for approximately one-third of the seats (a "class") every second year.The Vice President of the United States is the President of the Senate and serves as its presiding officer, but is not a Senator and does not vote except to break ties. The Vice President rarely acts as President of the Senate unless casting a tie-breaking vote or during ceremonial occasions, so the duty of presiding usually falls to the President Pro Tempore, customarily the most senior senator of the majority party. Most often, the President Pro Tempore will designate a member from his party to serve as presiding officer for the day.

NO.\nThe Speaker of the United States House of Representatives is the presiding officer of the lower house of Congress, the House of Representatives. The current Speaker is Dennis Hastert, a Republican Congressman from Illinois, whose term will expire at the end of the 109th Congress on January 3, 2007. On November 16, Nancy Pelosi, the House Democratic leader, was nominated by her party to be Speaker of the House for the 110th Congress; she will then be the first woman to hold the office.  The office of Speaker was created by the Constitution of the United States. The Speaker is elected by the House of Representatives, and is its highest-ranking officer.  In the Presidential line of succession, the Speaker is second in the line, after the Vice President of the United States.  \n\nThe Majority Leader of the United States House of Representatives acts as the leader of the party that has a majority control of the seats in the house (currently at least 218 of the 435 seats). The Majority Leader works with the Speaker of the House and the Majority Whip to coordinate ideas and supporting votes for legislation.   Rep. Steny Hoyer was selected to be the next majority leader for the 110 Congress on November 16.  His term will start on January 3, 2007 as well.  Rep. John Boehner from Ohio is the current majority leader in the House.

I would say either Dick Durbin (Illinois) or Hillary Clinton (New York) or Barack Obama (Illinois)! Those three seem to be the party leaders anyway!

She's not automatically the Speaker.  SHe is currently the minority leader, which makes her a clear choice to be elected once the Congress meets in January.  It is unlikely that they will choose anyone else.

A better one than Comrade Pelosi!\n\nSteny Hoyer was my Representative when I was in high school and college.  He has been in congress for nearly 25 years; and unlike many of new modern Democrats who are extreme liberals, he is more in tuned with the average Marylander, who is generally moderate.\n  \nHe would be a much better choice for Speaker of the House than Pelosi, but I guess he will not get the chance.

I think it's either the Speaker of the House or the Secretary of State.
