Speaker is only in charge of one house, not of the government as a whole. President is nominally at least head of government but if he does not have a majority in the house/senate then he's not necessarily making policy either. Unlike the PM who is only the PM as long as his party is in the majority. So yes in some ways it works and some it doesn't. I just don't think it'd be as interesting to have Congress talking amongst themselves.
