About the Senate Committee System
| Due to the high volume and complexity of its work, Congress divides its tasks among various committees and subcommittees. The House and Senate each have their own committee system, which are similar. Within chamber guidelines, however, each committee adopts its own rules; thus, there is considerable variation among panels. |
