In this file photo from January 10, 2001, United States Senator James Jeffords (Republican of Vermont) and US Senator Ted Kennedy (Democrat of Massachusetts) discuss the confirmation of Rod Paige as Secretary of Education before the Senate Health, Education, Labor, and Pensions Committee. Jeffords is rumored to be considering changing his party affiliation from Republican to Democrat which would result in the Democrats taking control of the Senate. According to reports, Senator Kennedy has agreed to allow Jeffords to continue as committee chairman as part of the deal. Credit: Ron Sachs / CNP/AdMedia
