who decides which committee assignments members of the house of representatives receive?

 In the United States House of Representatives, committee assignments for members are decided by the respective political party leadership.

For the majority party, the Speaker of the House (who is typically the leader of the majority party) plays a significant role in making committee assignments. The Speaker consults with other party leaders and members of the House to determine the assignments based on factors such as expertise, seniority, regional representation, and the interests of individual members.

For the minority party, committee assignments are typically determined by the Minority Leader and other party leaders in consultation with members of the minority party.

Once committee assignments are finalized, they are announced to the members of the House and become effective for the duration of the congressional term. Members of the House may serve on one or more committees, depending on their seniority, interests, and expertise.
