For too long, Congress has not focused on the need for internal reforms to improve the institution's work for the American people. The @ModernizeCmte enables Congress to focus on reforms and improvements that are necessary to better serve constituents.

“Successful reform efforts in Congress are rare. For the most part, these efforts fade away and are forgotten. I am glad that this reform effort, spearheaded by the bipartisan work of @ModernizeCmte, is moving forward and we will see tangible results.” - @RepZoeLofgren

Happening now: The Rules Committee discusses a bipartisan approach to reasserting congressional authority and overreach by the executive branch. @RepMcGovern says is past time to consider these issues and develop bipartisan solutions.
