Summary:

The House of Representatives meets in the House chamber of the Capitol. In the front of the\r chamber is a three-tiered, elevated dais. Seated or standing at a sizable lectern (the height\r of which is adjustable) on the top level of the dais is the presiding officer. Members of the\r House sit in bench-style (unassigned) seats arranged in a semicircle facing the presiding officer.\r Facing the dais, Republicans traditionally sit to the right of the center aisle, Democrats to the left.\r A photograph of the House dais can be found on the Internet at http://www.clerk.house.gov by\r placing a cursor on the "Legislative Activities" button on the top navigation bar, which will cause\r a color photograph of the Speaker\'s dais to appear.
