Committee Chairmanship Succession
Submitted August 19, 2008 - 11:43 am by Al GiordanoEliot - You're correct that nobody will chair both the Banking and the Foreign Relations committee. Next in line for Foreign Relations behind Dodd is John Kerry, and behind Kerry is Russ Feingold.
My hunch is - especially after Dodd's negative press over a VIP loan this summer - that he'll be eager to take over Foreign Relations. But if not, Kerry would also be an improvement over Biden and I think he'd take it in a New York minute. (The Foreign Relations committee is where Kerry got his start in political life, testifying as a recently returned Vietnam Veteran circa 1971, and it was the first committee he requested when he arrived to the senate in 1985.)
