Iowa's Grassley to be Finance Committee Chairman

Iowa Senator Charles Grassley's now officially the chairman of the Senate Finance Committee.

The Senate passed a resolution Wednesday affirming Grassley's move to take back the chairmanship from Sen. Orrin Hatch of Utah, who didn't seek re-election.  

Grassley handed the reins of the Senate Judiciary Committee to Senator Lindsay Graham of South Carolina.
