they do not like the way they perform on the house floor? ray: a lot of things they can do and oftentimes argue on the floor. there is not much they can do in terms of changing the legislation. the house works by numbers more so than the senate. whereas if the majority party pretty much calls the shots of what gets on the floor. so there s only so much you can do on the floor if you do not like somebody. of course, you have the chamber quorum but even if you do not like somebody you are supposed to call them nice things. my distinguished colleague, for example, instead of you rotten s.o.b. but, that is part of parliamentary procedure and parliamentary style. brian: what do they do in the senate? don: well, we are still influenced by thomas jefferson, who wrote the manual of parliamentary procedure to really cool down the tempers that would be there for any legislative issues. members are not to address each other by name. they are not to criticize another person s state or qu
