House Demos Plan Attack on Seniority Rules
Younger House Democrats plan a bid to end the seniority system by 1973 with a 70 year age limit for chairmen and a four term cap. The move would uproot many chairmen in the 93rd Congress, with 11 forced out by age and three by term limits, altering committee leadership including Colmer and Celler. The reform aims to open chairmanships by limiting subcommittee chair roles and broadening opportunities for other members.
