So you're saying the presiding officer makes the decision for the entire body?

The presiding officer will fill the role in the manner outlined by law and by Senate rules and procedures.

Does that mean whomever Peolsi appoints as the presiding officer in the House on a given day has the full power of the House?

Depends. Full power to do what?

In this case the analog would be recording his own count of votes on a bill rather than those of the members.
