House Judiciary Committee

The House Judiciary Committee is a key group in the United States House of Representatives responsible for legal issues. Its main tasks include reviewing proposed laws (bills), overseeing the federal judiciary, and addressing issues like civil rights, immigration, and criminal justice. The committee also plays a crucial role in impeachment proceedings, helping to determine whether a federal official should be removed from office. Members of the committee examine legal implications, hold hearings to gather information, and make recommendations to the full House on various legislative and judicial issues.
