Here Are The Concessions McCarthy Had To Make For Speakership
Meanwhile, The Hill notes that chairmanships on subcommittees are still going to need to be earned.
Another major concern for centrist Republicans throughout the week’s marathon negotiations was the conservatives’ push to win more subcommittee gavels for themselves — an idea that infuriated those already in line for those seats.
Bacon had called it “a non-starter,” particularly among the more moderate Republicans who have worked their way up the ladder into those seats.
“If you’re talking about chairmanships and things like that, they’re gonna have to still earn it,” Bacon said. “I call it affirmative action for [the] smallest of the caucuses to put them in leadership roles when they’ve not earned it. We believe in a merit-based system on the GOP side.”
Rep. Ann Wagner (R-Mo.), who has served in the House since 2013, also highlighted the “seniority process” for chairmanships.
“Everybody has to work their way through the seniority process and earn positions on both committees and gavels and things of that nature,” she said. -The Hill
“These concessions have been agreed to by our conference, and ultimately I believe it’s going to lead to a more people-driven legislative process,” said Rep. Cathy McMorris Rodgers (R-WA). “It’s about restoring more power and decision making to the members.”

That’s the problem with all government agencies. Someone that that has no particular skills or abilities can move into top positions by simply showing up to work. As a person with a business background, I believe in merit, not seniority.
That was a good plan, but they even said they got the concessions they wanted, so then what? Didn’t you say your rep promised to never vote for McCarthy?
Put your coffee down, watch this. Instant Classic from @steveinmanIUC 😂😂😂 https://t.co/p4BKMMIfXH— Jellenne 🇺🇸🌵🌞 (@jellen805) January 7, 2023

It’s now clear #January6th is the Democratic Left’s Reichstag Fire. A bogus “insurrection” is invoked to justify a ruthless crackdown, widespread state surveillance and intimidation of political opponents, and a terrifying regime of censorship and suspension of civil liberties
🤣😂🤣😂
The concessions placed in the rules package still has to be passed by the House.
If it does pass, from what I understand, the way the House operates will change.
Nasty made MANY changes to the rules and looks like most of them will be thrown out and back to before Nasty.
The members will have more say/control than being run by a tyrannical Speaker.
Ha, good one!
Praying for your friend.
For the 20 and especially the 7.
And anybody faxed under pressure
“We believe in a merit-based system on the GOP side.”
But what earns them credits? Being appeasers and caving? That’s all the “leadership” republicans have ever done.
Loving Catturd this week, so dang funny.
Can you imagine if the Dems just would have had a few Dems vote for McCarthy at the beginning, it would have been over early, and we would have been in deep thit.
They are not too bright, lol.
I have never liked that radical Hareem idiot.
THAT is too hilarious!!
Mike Rogers’ Ugly Toupee should be trending, on Twitter :-)
Thx for the data memes. Scary.
And the last one - I’ve been wondering where gas had been dropping here for a while. I was wondering where it came from.
Talk to the paw....lol 🐾

It is incredible how angry so many Republicans were at the 20 for daring to demand basic reforms to the House.
I pray this comes to pass. And that the way they have been passing evil legislation is gone for good. I know the swamp won’t like it.
Thank you, Jane, has gone down a little this morning, but not much.
Her friend in Delaware just had a stroke about a month ago.
Both jabbed.
They do not mention the jabba dabba do.
