In fact, we probably can expect that Donald Trump over the next few days will issue recommendations as to who he thinks should be on this committee. And Kevin McCarthy will follow those recommendations, hook, line and sinker.

The Constitution is sacredly obligatory upon all. That includes the President of the United States.
