- Les commissions permanentes (en anglais : standing committees) sont des commissions législatifs au sein du Congrès des États-Unis établies par les règles de la Chambre des représentants des États-Unis et les règles du Sénat des États-Unis (règle X de la Chambre des représentants et règle XXV du Sénat). Du fait de leur juridiction législative, les commissions permanentes examinent les projets de lois et les problèmes et recommandent des mesures pour leurs juridictions. Elles ont aussi la responsabilité de contrôle des agences, programmes et activités dépendant de leurs juridictions. Du fait de leur nature permanente, les commissions existent au-delà de chaque ajournement du congrès tous les deux ans. (fr)
- In the United States Congress, standing committees are permanent legislative panels established by the United States House of Representatives and United States Senate rules. (House Rule X, Senate Rule XXV.) Because they have legislative jurisdiction, standing committees consider bills and issues and recommend measures for consideration by their respective chambers. They also have oversight responsibility to monitor agencies, programs, and activities within their jurisdictions, and in some cases in areas that cut across committee jurisdictions. Due to their permanent nature, these committees exist beyond the adjournment of each two-year meeting of Congress. Most standing committees recommend funding levels—authorizations—for government operations and for new and existing programs. A few have other functions.For example, the Appropriations Committees recommend legislation to provide budget authority for federal agencies and programs. The Budget Committees establish aggregatelevels for total spending and revenue that serve as guidelines for the work of the authorizing and appropriating panels. Committees also provide oversight of federal agencies and programs. The Legislative Reorganization Act of 1946 greatly reduced the number of committees. The membership of each committee is adopted at the beginning of each Congress, usually by adoption of a formal resolution. Each committee is assigned its own staff to assist with its legislative, investigative, and research functions. Several committees divide their work into sub units called subcommittees. Committee sizes range from 6 to 50 members per committee. In the House, one person may not serve on more than two standing committees and four subcommittees at one time, though waivers can be granted to serve on additional committees. Also in the House, the House Republican Steering Committee assigns Republican representatives to their committee(s), while the Steering and Policy Committee is in charge of assigning Democratic representatives to committees. The Senate follows similar procedures, with senators being limited to no more than three full committees and five sub-committees. (en)
