House Committees are specialized groups within the U.S. House of Representatives that focus on specific areas of legislation and oversight. Each committee is responsible for reviewing proposed laws, conducting hearings, and investigating issues related to their designated topics, such as finance, education, or foreign affairs. These committees play a crucial role in shaping legislation before it is presented to the entire House for a vote. There are two main types of House Committees: standing committees, which are permanent and handle ongoing issues, and select committees, which are temporary and address specific problems or investigations. Additionally, there are joint committees that include members from both the House and the Senate to collaborate on particular matters.
