well according to a teacher named Billy Hathron, the House speaker can kill a bill by

a: bill is assigend to a committee

b:or give bill unfavorable consideration

c:or may pigeonhole bill (not vote on bill but delay consideration)

Answer 3

The Speaker controls the Rules Committee, e.g. appoints all its members herself.  Each bill that comes to the House floor is accompanied by a rule - it sets the length of debate, whether or not amendments can be offered or which ones can be offered.  Through the Rules Committee she can prevent a bill from reaching the House floor.

A bill could also be scheduled to come to the floor under a procedure called "suspension of the Rules" - this is generally used for non-controversial bills such as naming a post office.  However, 2/3rds of the Members present and voting must vote Aye - which for a controversial bill is very hard to do.

A bill can also be referred to numerous Committees - which can be a death sentence for legislation as each Committee will amend the bill to ensure it remains under that Committees control.
