Senate Committees

Senate committees are specialized groups within the U.S. Senate that focus on specific areas, such as finance, foreign relations, or judiciary. They review legislation, investigate issues, and oversee government functions related to their area. Each committee conducts hearings, gathers expert opinions, and drafts bills. This process allows senators to divide their work, ensuring thorough examination and efficient handling of complex topics. Committees play a critical role in shaping laws and policy before they reach the entire Senate for debate and voting. This structured approach helps manage the legislative workload and enhance decision-making in government.
