One responsibility of subcommittees is to hold hearings and hear testimony related to issues under their consideration. Seth Rogen recently testified before a Senate hearing on Alzheimer's Research. The fact that this video has been viewed nearly 50,000 times shows the usefulness of having a celebrity spokesperson. There is a great House of Cards moment too.
This blog serves my Congress course (Claremont McKenna College Government 101) for the spring of 2024.
ABOUT THIS BLOG
I shall post videos, graphs, news stories, and other material there. We shall use some of this material in class, and you may review the rest at your convenience. You will all receive invitations to post to the blog. (Please let me know if you do not get such an invitation.) I encourage you to use the blog in these ways:
There are only two major limitations: no coarse language, and no derogatory comments about people at the Claremont Colleges.
To post questions or comments about the readings before we discuss them in class;
To follow up on class discussions with additional comments or questions.
To post relevant news items or videos.
There are only two major limitations: no coarse language, and no derogatory comments about people at the Claremont Colleges.
