Capitol Questions I have wondered for years about the seating arrangements on the House and Senate floor. Auburn, Washington The House chamber. In the Senate it does, but not in the House. There is no assigned seating in the House chamber.
Members sit wherever they wish on their party's side of the main aisle.
Republicans on the right. The only reserved seats are those behind the committee tables, one located on each side of the floor. When a bill is pending on the floor, the majority and minority committee Members managing the bill use them. There is also a leadership table on each side of the floor, and the seats behind them are reserved for the respective party leadership. The Senate floor.
