The Committees of the Senate, when the Vice President is in the chair, are elected by ballot; in his absence they are appointed by the President pro tempore: those of the House are appointed by the Speaker.

To these Committees, in either House, is confided the initiation of business. They report to the Senate or the House, by bill, or otherwise; and upon such report the Senate or House go in committee of the whole, in which form of proceeding the whole body of members are regarded as one committee; the Speaker quits the chair, and some one nem ber is called to preside as chairman; (the President of the Senate does not leave the chair when the Senate proceeds to the consideration of a mea. sure as in committee of the whole, but presides on all occasions when he is present) In this committee, a wide latitude of discussion is allowed, and having made progress or come to some determination on the subject under consideration, it rises and reports progress, asks leave to sit again for to be discharged from that business, or reports in a conclusive manner affirmatively or negatively; and the Senate, or House grant or refuse the lease of discharge, or confirm or reject the report of the committee. This form of procedure is eminently calculated to prevent precipitation

in measures of importance; and it is only in committee of the whole that the Speaker can take part in the debate. The President of the Senate

on no occasion enters into the discussion of measures pending before that body.
