Committee membership is determined at the party caucuses at the beginning of each session.

The Chairman is a member of the majority party.
As a Congressperson, you want to be in a committee that impacts your state.
IN ORDER FOR A BILL TO BE BROUGHT BEFORE THE HOUSES OF CONGRESS, A MEMBER OF CONGRESS MUST SPONSOR THE BILL.
ANYONE CAN CREATE A BILL, BUT IT IS THE JOB OF THE LEGISLATURE TO CARRY TO THE PRESIDENT TO MAKE IT A LAW.
Party membership for each committee refelcts the membership ratios in the full House.
