Proving yet again that controlling the government works, Congress is set to change the rules regarding whether an indicted member can hold a leadership position.
You see, currently, if a member of the House is under indictment, then they become ineligible for a leadership position. This rule was put into place when Democrat Dan Rostenkowski was indicted in Illinois in the 90's.
Seems like a reasonable rule, unless the Republican Majority Leader is about to be indicted in Texas on corruption charges. So it's time to change the rule. Kind of reminds me of the US vs. USSR basketball game in the '72 Olympics.
