EspañolUNITED STATES HOUSE COMMITTEE ON THE JUDICIARY
(Redirected from U.S. House Judiciary Committee)
'U.S. House Committee on the Judiciary', or (more commonly) the 'House Judiciary Committee', is a standing committee of the United States House of Representatives. It is charged with overseeing the administration of justice within the federal courts, administrative agencies and Federal law enforcement entities. The Senate version of the committee's most public role involves the approval process of the President's nominees to the Federal benches, including the United States Supreme Court. The Judiciary Committee is also the committee responsible for impeachments of federal officials, and approved articles of impeachment against Andrew Johnson in 1868, Richard Nixon in 1974, and Bill Clinton in 1998. In the new 110th Congress the current chairman of the committee is Democrat John Conyers of Michigan, and the ranking minority member is Republican Lamar Smith of Texas.
The committee was created on June 3 1813 for the purpose of considering legislation related to the judicial system. Because of the legal nature of its oversight, committee members usually have a legal background, but it is not required.

The Antitrust Task Force was established February 28, 2007, is a temporary subcommittee to examine the pending merger between XM Radio and Sirius Satellite Radio. The task force operates like any other subcommittee, except that it only has a six-month term. House Rules limit each full committee to just five subcommittees, and any task force, special subcommittee, or other subunit of a standing committee that is established for a cumulative period longer than six months in a Congress counts against that total.[3] A longer term would for the task force would cause the Judiciary Committee to exceed this limit.
