House of the Representatives in the U.S., as the National Assembly of this state and one of the two pillars of the Congress, is headed by Speaker and, Chairman of the Majlis is the head of the Islamic Consultative Assembly of Iran. Although the constitutional texts and fundamental laws do not provide a special place for these two authorities, however, they have an undeniable role in the structure of government and in the courtyard of their houses. A comparative study of the two shows that parliamentary traditions and historical practices have made a range of qualifications and powers for the Speaker of the House of the Representatives that are hard to see in the Iranian Majlis. The chairman of Majlis has been limited by the internal regulations statute, and it has explicitly resolved these issues. It is should is to be noted that the President of the Majlis, compared to their counterparts in the United States, has a greater administrative powers.
