I say GRassley should remove her for the stunt of delay and refusal to hand over the letter. Either hand over the letter or step down off the committee.
Can he do that? The party steering committees or maybe they’re called “the committee on committees” hands out the committee assignments. So if the R’s get 11 slots and the D’s get 10, the D’s get to assign which 10.
Neither congressman would lose any seniority or committee assignments
But that would have to go through the Ethics Committee, no?
