I am so sad about this new bill ranking a member on a standing committee in the House of Representatives. It's really important for our government to have strong leadership in these committees, so I think this bill is a good idea. It will help make sure that the most qualified people are in charge of making important decisions that affect all of us. I hope this bill will make a positive impact on our country and help us move forward together. This bill affects all Americans and I believe it will benefit us in the long run.
