Senate Subcommittee on Seapower

Background


The Senate Subcommittee on Seapower is a subcommittee of the Committee on Armed Forces, a standing committee of the United States Senate. As a subcommittee of a House standing committee, the Subcommittee on Seapower has legislative authority as well as oversight and housekeeping authority over matters within its jurisdiction. It considers, amends, and reports bills that fall under its jurisdiction, and may block legislation from reaching the Senate floor. It also uses its oversight power to subpoena witnesses and hold hearings. Senate Standing Committees also hold hearings on presidential nominations related to their area of jurisdiction (in this committee's case, the Armed Forces).link
