Congressional Committees and Subcommittees
Because of the number of issues Congress has to deal with, both the House and the
Senate divide up a lot of the 'grunt' work of law-making among numerous committees and subcommittees.
Committees consider legislation, conduct hearings and investigations, and carry
out other assignments as instructed by the chamber. Some (but not all) Committees have Subcommittees, which
handle some specific issues assigned to the committee.
