Since Newt, tremendous power.
Massie and Gaetz discuss it in The Swamp if you get a chance to see that.
Newt changed the rules making members money making toward the party determine which committees you get, etc. It turned them into (bigger) whores for the RNC/DNC. That 9-member rules committee rules everything. So McCarthy wants to be a king, but they want to make him just another representative.
Here's hoping Donalds or PDJT gets the job
