The House Chamber is a magnificent room. It is found on the west side of the second floor. It is 56 feet long, 56 feet wide and 46 feet high. There are seventy-five members of the House of Representatives, because Rhode Island has seventy-five representative districts. Our Representatives are elected to serve two-year terms. The Representatives elect one member as their Presiding Officer. That person is called the Speaker of the House. The Speaker controls the meetings. The Speaker also controls the flow of new legislation.
