The head committee in Congress, often referred to as the committee chair, is typically determined by seniority and party majority. Members of the majority party in each chamber select their committee chairs, usually based on the length of service on the committee and their overall tenure in Congress. Additionally, party leadership may influence chair assignments to align with strategic priorities. In some cases, members may also be appointed based on expertise or specific interests relevant to the committee's focus.
