United States Senate Committee on Rules and Administration

United States Senate Committee on Rules and Administration

The Senate Committee on Rules and Administration (also called the Senate Rules Committee) is responsible for the rules of the United States Senate, with administration of congressional buildings, and with credentials and qualifications of members of the Senate, including responsibility for dealing with contested elections.

The committee is not as powerful as its House counterpart, the House Committee on Rules: it does not set the terms of debate for individual legislative proposals, since the Senate has a tradition of open debate.

Some members of the committee are also "ex officio" members of the Joint Committee on Printing.

History

The Committee was first created as the Select Committee to Revise the Rules of the Senate on December 3, 1867. On December 9, 1874, it became a standing committee: Committee on Rules.

On January 2, 1947, its name was changed to the Committee on Rules and Administration, and it took over the functions of the following committees:
* Committee to Audit and Control the Contingent Expenses of the Senate
* Committee on Education and Labor (functions were later transferred to Health, Education, Labor, and Pensions Committee
* Committee on Enrolled Bills
* Committee on Privileges and Elections
