He’s not chairman of a COMMITTEE; he’s chairman of a CAUCUS. The headline is purposely deceptive to create the impression he heads a committee”
Does that prevent him from introducing his own bills?
He can introduce any bill he wants. And if he does not not backing from a “committee” he can make that known.
So, whats holding HIM back?
“He can introduce any bill he wants.”
True, but usually they need ‘co-sponsors’ and to know that the bill has a chance of being taken up by the relevant committee(s), with some chance of getting thru the committee(s) to the floor. Otherwise, it’s just grandstanding (as this interview appears to have been). It’s one thing to go on a CNN interview (of all places) but quite another to introduce a bill into the Congress.
