As for being able to remove a chair, the committee certainly has that ability now. I've seen it done. I may be the only chair in the House ever elected while saying he didn't want to be the chair. If a chair was removed and the best person to replace him was already a chair of another committee, how would we go about that? You're precluding 21 other chairs from being able to move to a different committee which might be a better one to their minds.
