在美国,立法机构分为地方、州和联邦三个级别。联邦立法机构(国会)、州立法机构以及很多县市立法机构都根据党派分立,各自有各自的党鞭,同时还有多数党党首和少数党党首。
Both houses of Congress, the House of Representatives and Senate, have Majority and Minority Whips. They in turn have subordinate "regional" Whips. In the Senate, the Majority Whip is the third-highest ranking individual in the majority party (the party with the most seats). The Majority Whip is outranked by the Majority Leader and, unofficially, the President pro tempore; because the office of President pro tempore is largely honorific and usually given to the longest-serving Senator of the majority, the Majority Whip is in reality the second-ranking senator in the Majority Conference in terms of actual power. Similarly, in the House, the Majority Whip is outranked by both the Majority Leader and the Speaker. Unlike the Senate's presiding officer, the Speaker is the leader of his or her party's caucus in the House.
美国国会两院,众议院和参议院,都有多数党党鞭和少数党党鞭,下面还有“地区”党鞭。在参议院,多数党党鞭位列多数党(在参议院占多数席位的政党)第三把交椅,排在他前面的分别是多数党党首和临时议长。因为临时议长一职很大程度上是荣誉性质的,一般由多数党在位时间最长的参议员担任,所以,多数党党鞭实际上是多数党会议中实权仅次于党首的参议员。在众议院,多数党党鞭排在多数党党首和议长之后。与参议院的临时议长不同,众议院的议长是该党在众议院核心小组的领袖。
