Rubio seen as possible successor to Burr as Intelligence chairman
By Alexander Bolton - 05/14/20 06:37 PM EDT


Senate Republicans see Sen. Marco Rubio (R-Fla.) as a likely successor to Sen. Richard Burr (R-N.C.) as chairman of the Senate Intelligence Committee, something that would be a major promotion for a lawmaker who contemplated leaving Congress only a few years ago.

The decision ultimately belongs to Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) but he is expected to hew closely to the tradition of seniority, which put would Sen. Jim Risch (R-Idaho) as first in line to become chairman and Rubio in second.

But GOP senators expect Risch to stick with his chairmanship of the prestigious Senate Foreign Relations Committee, which is designated a “Super A” committee under Senate Republican conference rules.

GOP rules state a senator serving as a chairman of any “A” committee may not also serve as the chairman of another committee, a limit that was adopted in 1995.

I read the article,and I am still wondering why Rubio?  Other than he's proven he's part of the Ole Country Club.
