AI explainer on how you get on the committee:
it's a party process, then a formal Senate vote.
Request. Senators, usually at the start of a new Congress, tell their party which committees they want.
Party selection. Each party picks its own members. Republicans use their Steering Committee and Democrats use their Steering and Outreach Committee. They weigh seniority, the senator's preferences, expertise, regional and ideological balance, and the leader's input.
Party seat count. The majority party gets more seats and sets the ratio. The current committee has 22 seats, 12 Republican and 10 Democratic.
Approval. Each conference ratifies its slate, and then the full Senate adopts a resolution formalizing the assignments. This vote is almost always a formality.
