In the aftermath of the US supreme court overturning Roe v. Wade, the United States House of Representatives has been passing several bills in efforts to protect certain rights. 

These include protecting same-sex marriage, interracial marriage, and contraception. 

With the US House, the US Senate, the supreme court and the president all seeming to have different levels of power, it can be hard to understand the different levels of authority in the leadership.
