Senate hearings

Senate hearings are formal meetings held by the U.S. Senate to gather information on specific issues, proposed legislation, or the qualifications of nominees for government positions. During these hearings, senators question experts, witnesses, or nominees to gain insights and evidence. The goal is to inform Senate decisions, promote transparency, and hold government officials accountable. Hearings can cover a wide range of topics, from national security to healthcare, and often include public testimonies, expert opinions, and discussions among senators. They are a key part of the legislative process and democratic governance.
