Queen Margrethe and Prince Henrik's Official Visit to the USA: June 6-11, 2011


If you have answers, please help by responding to the unanswered posts.
Steny Hoyer is a member of the House of Representatives. So while he is not a United States Senator he is a part of the House leadership where he holds the position of Minority Whip. A great Marylander (as am I not great just a Marylander). He used to represent my district until I moved.

Anway, I had no idea he was Danish American?! How fantastic is that!

Thank you, Zonk :flowers:

So the Democrats are currently in minority in the House of Representatives, as he is Minority Whip? - Which I guess serve the same function as chief whip in the British parties in Parliament?
 
According to wikipedia, I am going to say yes and no.

I will leave it at that so we don't get too political.
 
I actually did not know there were whips in the U.S. Congress. I thought it was just a British thing! :blush:
