Could you please expand on your point: "like fewer committee assignments (allowing in depth knowledge of subject)". This seems counter intuitive. I am not too familiar with how the committees work in Congress, but naively I feel like if there were more Reps, the committees would also grow in size? Or do you mean that we would get more committees instead with more specialization?
- 0xffff2 3y agoI think the idea is that while the committee size might grow, it shouldn't/doesn't need to grown in proportion to the size of the overall congressional size, leading to fewer committee assignments per rep.
- bediger4000 3y agoThere's only so many committees. Larger number of Reps means fewer assignments per Rep. Each Rep can therefore study the committee's material better.
