The Conference House is a National Historic Landmark and New York City Landmark. It is owned by the City of New York, operated by the Conference House Association as a house museum, and is a member of the Historic House Trust of New York City.
The Speaker is the political and parliamentary leader of the House. The Constitution mandates the office, but the House and Speakers have defined its contours over time. Some Speakers have aggressively pursued a policy agenda for the House while others have, in the words of Speaker Schuyler Colfax of Indiana, âcome to this chair to administer [the] rules, but not as a partisan.â
