This is an old revision of this page, as edited by Aschlafly (talk | contribs) at 20:20, October 30, 2007. It may differ significantly from current revision.
Whips are assistants to the floor leaders in Congress who are also elected by their party conferences. The Majority and Minority Whips (and their assistants) are responsible for mobilizing votes within their political parties on major issues. In the absence of a party floor leader, the whip often serves as acting floor leader.
