Chairpersons of congressional committees are determined by the political party that holds the majority in each chamber of Congress. Typically, the majority party's leadership, including the Speaker of the House or the Senate Majority Leader, selects committee chairs based on seniority, expertise, and loyalty to party priorities. In the case of the House, committee chairs are often chosen through a formal vote by the majority party's members. The Senate employs a similar process, though it may also consider individual Senators' interests and past performance.
