 After the oath of office, the Republican Conference and the Democratic Caucus report the names of the party leaders to the Speaker and announce their choices to the Congress. The House of Representatives has chosen majority and minority leaders since the nineteenth century. These leaders are elected every two years in secret balloting of the party caucus or conference.
New party leaders are elected if the majority and minority parties change due to the election results or if a party leader steps down.
Following the announcement of the party leaders, the chairmen of the Republican Conference and the Democratic Caucus announce the names of those elected majority whip and
minority whip.
