A source familiar with the meeting said attendees — a number of whom are members of the conservative House Freedom Caucus — discussed changes such as allowing committee members to select chairmen, which would effectively end the seniority-based system currently in place. They also weighed opposition to changing the vacate-the-chair resolution, which gives members a chance to effectively vote no-confidence in the House speaker.

Another topic discussed: having one of their own serve on House Speaker Paul Ryan’s leadership team.

Whether Ryan is open to any of these potential changes remains to be seen. But the proposals will be part of the post-election talks that begin next week, as Ryan looks to shore up support within the conference ahead of leadership elections.
