In a dramatic shift of Congressional power, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez has announced a plan to restructure all of the committees within the House of Representatives and organize them into six separate, comma-shaped divisions.
The move is one of many new initiatives that AOC has been pushing to increase partisan representation within the Capitol. The plan will streamline the structure of the House and better distribute decision-making power between representatives in what she called an “revolutionary new organizational approach.”
The idea of a comma-shaped structure is already causing a stir among some lawmakers and analysts, who worry that the pattern may open up loopholes in Congressional oversight or cause the legislative process to grind to a halt. AOC has seemed unfazed by these criticisms, telling those in Washington that her plan is “the future of democracy.” She encourages them to get on board or “be left behind.”
