New Panel Relationships to Be Tested : Roll Call
The gyrations of who gets what chair are in process of becoming done, what remains to be seen is how the new assortment of congress critters will work together, and how the relationships on committees will go.
The incoming GOP House majority has vowed to fix what it says is a broken committee process. But the untested relationships of the many new chairmen and ranking members may hinder Republicans’ ability to make good on that promise.
Nine committees will have a different partnership at the helm, and seven more are still undecided pending the outcome of gavel challenges and leader-appointed posts. Among the key battles still to be determined are top committees such as Appropriations and Energy and Commerce.
