Google Drive. To actually edit an item in the Google Docs/Drive interface, the item must be in a Google document format. That is, though you can upload and share Microsoft Word files in Google Drive, you cannot edit them in the browser (you would need to download the item, edit it in MS Word, and then re-upload it).
There are four types of congressional committees: 1  Standing committees, which continue from one Congress to the next, are probably the most important type because they consider and shape the vast majority of proposed laws. 2  Select committees are temporarily formed for specific purposes, often to study a particular issue.
Several committees divide their work into sub units called subcommittees. The Senate currently has 16 standing committees, and 4 permanent select or special committees. The House has 19 standing committees and 3 permanent select committees. 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.
