[tps_title]Rep. Mac McCutcheon, House Rules Chairman[/tps_title]
McCutcheon is similar to Nick Saban in the sense that he is fiercely devoted to the process. For Saban, that means having a daily commitment to the smallest details on the practice field. For McCutcheon, that means having a daily commitment to making sure the legislative process works as smoothly as possible for members of both sides of the aisle. That’s an important trait in his role of House Rules Chairman, where he has enormous influence over what pieces of legislation actually make it to the floor for a vote.
McCutcheon is Alabama House Speaker Mike Hubbard’s single most important ally. Republican legislators — both veterans and rookies alike — look to McCutcheon for guidance. As long as he has Hubbard’s back, any attempted coup inside the GOP caucus is dead on arrival.
