How do House Caucuses work?
Post Body
Right now the Freedom caucus is in the news again over the shutdown, and coincidentally 538 has an article talking about the Democratic party caucuses (Progressives, New Democrats, Blue Dogs).
How do these work exactly and how formal are they? Are they loose associations where any member join any one and switch when they like? Are they sub-parties forming a coalition like in a parliamentary system? Do they have internal whips and agree to vote as a bloc? Etc.
