The result is that there is never any spring cleaning. Occasional small tweaks (the Byrd rule, Reid reducing vote requirements for lower court judges, McConnell expanding to SCOTUS) are referred to as "the nuclear option" but happen as a matter of course every 2 yrs in the House

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.
