Usually the Speaker of the House is a more popular position. Everyone usually knows who the speaker of the house is and senate is a more obscure or rather lesser known position. Most people could tell you who the speaker of the house is and don't even know who the president of the senate is or if there is one. I cannot help but notice, this time around the situation is reversed. Claudius is definitely more colorful and outspoken than Mr. Foster as can be seen in this clip and previous clips.
