In my 8 years in the House, we've adjusted rules on member-directed projects multiple times, changed the rules on how to call a vote to evict a Speaker and a ton of other stuff. It's not nuclear, it's just housekeeping. As it should be.

    All of us want more power. And in the Senate that has led to a mass of rules (like the aforementioned blue slips and unanimous consent) that IF CHANGED would make the Senate more democratic, but reduce individual Senator power. So they stay in place.
