The House Committee on Rules is commonly known as “The Speaker’s Committee” because it is the mechanism that the Speaker uses to maintain control of the House Floor. Because of the vast power wielded by the Rules Committee, its ratio has traditionally been weighted in favor of the majority party. The Committee provides the terms and conditions of debate on any measure or matter through Special Rules. The Committee also considers original jurisdiction measures, which commonly represent changes to the standing rules of the House, or measures that contain special rules, such as the expedited procedures in trade legislation. source
Each member’s figures cover every trade they disclosed, not only trades touching this committee’s jurisdiction.
Seats are the current Congress’s roster from congress-legislators, refreshed with the pipeline. A member with no disclosed trades is listed with dashes.
“Late” counts trades filed more than 45 days after the trade — a reporting fact, not an allegation of wrongdoing.
