Ep. 247 | Constitutional Chats Podcast | How Does The Committee System in Congress Really Work?

Did you know there are thousands upon thousands of bills filed every year in the US House and Senate?  Only a fraction of those reach a floor vote and only a small amount of those are passed and signed into law.  Before a bill can reach the floor, it must first go through the committee process.  To help us learn what this process is and what it entails, we are delighted to welcome Cyrus Artz. Cyrus is the former staff director of the House Committee on Education and Workforce, and currently a senior policy advisor in the Office of the Speaker of the U.S. House of Representatives. Join us as Cyrus shares his insight and experience with our student panel!
