Senate committee

A Senate committee is a specialized subgroup within the U.S. Senate that focuses on specific areas like finance, defense, or education. These committees review, debate, and amend proposed laws (bills) related to their topics before they go to the full Senate for a vote. They also hold hearings to gather information, question experts, and oversee government programs. Committees help organize the legislative process efficiently by breaking down complex issues into manageable parts, ensuring thorough examination and informed decision-making before a bill is considered by the entire Senate.
