Rep. Louise Slaughter, of New York, was chairwoman of the rules committee when Democrats were in the majority in the House from 2007 to 2010. The panel controls the debate and amendment process on the House floor, and she used its power to advance the Affordable Care Act, which passed the House by just five votes in 2009.
