The floor of a legislature or chamber is the place where members sit and make speeches.
Members are not permitted to speak between the red lines on the floor which mark the boundaries of each side.
Only members and the essential officers of the house such as the clerks are permitted upon the floor while parliament is in session.
[3] The two important debating floors of the U.S. Federal government are in the House of Representatives and the Senate.
The procedures for passing legislation are quite varied with differing degrees of party, committee and conference involvement.
