Committee chairmanship generally goes by seniority, though. Although long tenure may be uncommon overall, it is not when considering power positions.

Can you give us some advice on how to fight the current administration?

I’m good with term limits and age limits, I think 65, and you are thanked and given a nice pat on the back. The world changes dramatically and the older we get the more set in our “old” ways, we need a constant regeneration of fresh ideas.

Two thoughts:

First, I'm not particularly in favor of term limits, but am deeply concerned by gerrymandered districts with no competition;

And especially in the Senate, leadership seems to be sclerotic.

In North Carolina both our General Ass. and our House delegation are badly skewed by racial and political gerrymandering done 'with surgical precision.'
