Content: A subcommittee is a subordinate committee comprised of members who belong to a larger committee. For example, within the Senate Committee on Health, Education, Labor, and Pensions, there are a number of subgroups dedicated to specific issues, such as the Subcommittee on Children and Families. These groups are a critical part of committee organization, as they allow committees to focus on several issues without needing to involve all of the members, and they create more flexibility within the committee structure. The House and Senate convene in the U.S. Capital building. There are two main types of subcommittee: standing, and working. A standing subcommittee is one that is always in existence, covering specific issues that pertain to the committee in general. One special type, the executive subcommittee, can make executive decisions on behalf of the larger group. A working subcommittee is tasked with dealing with a specific and often temporary issue: for example, a city council might establish one to address civilian complaints about the police force.
