Seniority plays a major role in committee appointments. Sure, you could replace the senile 95 year old who doesn’t know the cold war is over with a younger candidate, but that senile 95 year old has been in Congress for longer than the other guy has been alive, and he’s on some important committees because of it that the younger candidate wouldn’t be able to be in

At least his eyes point in the same direction
Lol
