Question 7 • CMS 2026-2027 Founding Principles of the US and NC: Civic Literacy CREDIT RECOVERY

Which statement describes joint committees?

Answer
A
They contain members from both major political parties.
B
Once created, they will continue to function unless disbanded by the passage of a law.
C
Members are appointed by the president of the United States.
D
They function to serve the purposes of only the political party currently in the majority.

Explanation

Joint committees include members from both the House of Representatives and the Senate, so they bring together lawmakers from both chambers of Congress. They are not simply committees for the majority party, and their members are selected by Congress rather than appointed by the president. Therefore, the statement that they contain members from both major political parties is correct.
