joint committee

Examples of joint committee in the following topics:

• How a Bill Becomes Law

  • A system of committees considers law relating to each policy area jurisdictions in the U.S.
  • There are three main types of committees—standing, select or special, and joint.
  • Four joint committees operate with members from both houses on matters of mutual jurisdiction and oversight.
  • Senate rules fix the maximum size for many of its committees, while the House determines the size and makeup of each committee every new Congress.
  • The committee reports to the legislature, at which stage further amendments are proposed.

• Conference Committee

  • A conference committee is a committee of Congress appointed by the House and Senate to resolve disagreements on a particular bill.
  • A conference committee is a committee of Congress appointed by the House of Representatives and Senate to resolve disagreements on a particular bill.
  • The conference committee is usually composed of the senior members of the standing committees of each house that originally considered the legislation.
  • But apart from this one open meeting, conference committees usually meet in private and are dominated by the Chairs of the House and Senate Committees.
  • A conference report proposes legislative language as an amendment to the bill and also includes a joint explanatory statement of the conference committee.

• The Legislative Function

  • Committees write legislation.
  • Committees have power and have been called 'independent fiefdoms'.
  • Usually, the next step is for the proposal to be passed to a committee for review.
  • A joint resolution, which differs little from a bill since both are treated similarly.
  • However, a joint resolution originates from the House.

• The Conflict-Resolution Function

  • It is assigned a number and referred to a committee.
  • Joint resolutions are the normal way to propose a constitutional amendment or declare war.
  • Standing committees meet at least once each month.
  • Committees may also amend the bill, but the full house holds the power to accept or reject committee amendments.
  • The House Financial Services Committee meets.

• Ownership of Corporations

  • In a joint-stock company, the members are known as shareholders and their share in the ownership, control, and profits of the corporation is determined by their portion of shares.
  • In some cases, this will be a single individua,l but more commonly, corporations are controlled by a committee or by committees.
  • Broadly speaking, two kinds of committee structures exist.
  • A single committee or board of directors is the method favored in most common law countries.
  • A two-tiered committee structure with a supervisory board and a managing board is common in civil law countries.

• Synovial Joint Movements

  • As with most other joints, synovial joints achieve movement at the point of contact of the articulating bones.
  • Structural and functional differences distinguish synovial joints from cartilaginous joints (synchondroses and symphyses) and fibrous joints (sutures, gomphoses, and syndesmoses).
  • There are six types of synovial joints.
  • The six types of joints include:
  • Saddle joints, which permit the same movement as condyloid joints (and condylar joints and saddle joints combine to form compound joints)

• Types of Synovial Joints

  • Wave your arm (hinge joint) and hand (condyloid joint) while nodding your head (pivot joint), and giving a thumbs up (saddle joint).
  • Wind up for the pitch (ball and socket joint), raise your knee (compound joint/modified hinge joint), and throw that ball.
  • The atlanto-axial joint, proximal radioulnar joint, and distal radioulnar joint are examples of pivot joints.
  • Examples include the wrist joint (radiocarpal joint) and the temporomandibular joint.
  • The final type of joint is a compound joint/modified hinge joint such as the knee joint, where the condyles of femur join with condyles of tibia and the saddle joint, where the lower end of femur joins with patella.

• Joint Venture

• Classification of Joints on the Basis of Structure and Function

  • The structural classification divides joints into fibrous, cartilaginous, and synovial joints depending on the material composing the joint and the presence or absence of a cavity in the joint.
  • Synovial joints are the only joints that have a space between the adjoining bones .
  • Synovial joints are capable of the greatest movement of the three structural joint types; however, the more mobile a joint, the weaker the joint.
  • Knees, elbows, and shoulders are examples of synovial joints.
  • Synovial joints are the only joints that have a space or "synovial cavity" in the joint.

• Types of Synovial Joints

  • The shape of the joint affects the type of movement permitted by the joint.
  • These joints allow for gliding movements; therefore, the joints are sometimes referred to as gliding joints.
  • Examples of ball-and-socket joints are the shoulder and hip joints .
  • (e) The radiocarpal joint of the wrist is a condyloid joint.
  • The metacarpophalangeal joints in the finger are examples of condyloid joints.
