Arguing over who gets to own the "Send more money to Israel" committee chairmanship
Let's get real. The power in the Senate isn't with the individual Senators, any more than the power in F-1 is with the drivers.

Individual Senators do have power when their peers are trying to pass something or prevent something. That’s how Senator Lisa Murkowski (R), from Alaska, was able to get her state special concessions negotiated in order to pass the unfavorable OBB bill which was anything but beautiful.

The senate majority leader has a lot of procedural power.
