The House Rules Committee

The rules committee in the house is able to maintain Almost ironclad control over what gets to the floor of the house. The members are picked by the leader and the leader picks people who are going to be loyal to him That's the normal pattern And sometimes they will ease up and allow more amendments Now mccarti has agreed to give At least in theory a lot more amendments to rank and file members But we know that by putting at least three freedom caucus members on the rules committee They're going to have the ability most likely To block things that the leader wants to do unless he gives up even more concessions.
