The Senate Committee System
The Senate, like the House of Representatives, sends bills to committees before bringing them before the full chamber; it also has committees which perform specific non-legislative functions as well.
The Senate's committees include:
agriculture, nutrition, and forestry;
appropriations;
armed services;
banking, housing, and urban affairs;
budget;
commerce, science, and transportation;
energy and natural resources;
environment and public works;
finance;
foreign relations;
health, education, labor, and pensions;
homeland security and governmental affairs;
judiciary;
rules and administration;
small business and entrepreneurship;and veterans' affairs.
There are also special committees on aging, ethics, intelligence and Indian affairs; and joint committees with the House of Representatives.
The House of Representatives does have some unique powers. Specifically:
The sole power of impeachment (Article I, Section 2),
Origination power for bills intended to raise revenue (Article I, Section 7),
Choosing the President in the exceedingly unlikely case of an Electoral College tie (Article II, Section 1, as amended).
But the Senate gets other, more important powers! The Senate:
Tries all impeachments (Article I, Section 3), so they decide whether or not to remove any government officials accused by the House. Seems to me that it’s more important to be the decisionmaker (the decider?)
May propose or concur amendments to revenue bills, as with any other bill (Article I, Section 7). Functionally, this means that the Houses’s ability to prevent the Senate from expressing its views on tax policy is pretty limited.
Gets to approve appointments throughout the Executive and Judicial branches (Article II, Section II). That’s the biggest one: the House gets no say at all in appointments!
About the only area in which the House has a clear advantage over the Senate is in the (again, rare) case of an Electoral College tie, when the Senate would choose the Vice President (Article II, Section 1, as amended).
Throw in a couple of other factors that give individual Senators more power than individual Representatives - longer terms, staggered elections, and extended debate - and I think it’s fair to conclude that the Senate has more power, collectively.
Dilleys scope today is a MUST WATCH....all the way through. Let me know if you need a link

MAGA Promise

Get the popcorn, Friday & Saturday will deliver on the MAGA promise. POTUS knows he must clean house (gov't) in order to 'free up' and demonstrate who has authority in order to pass important legislation. This was always the priority. Remember, AG Sessions cannot look like an impartial player that is out to get all former Obama team members as we need him for other important work. All will come into focus and for anyone to think POTUS is not in control is kidding themselves. Also, he's 100% insulated with zero risk of impeachment (fact).
