US Senate

The United States Senate (USS) operates on guidelines and dynamics entirely detached from those of a traditional MUN debate. Rather than United Nations style committees oriented toward global resolutions, the USS is a national legislative body centered on drafting, amending, and passing bills that determine domestic policy and law. Thereby, this committee resembles the U.S. legislative procedure, featuring bipartisanship, mediation, and parliamentary formality, while still preserving simplicity so delegates can comprehend it after attending a session of delegate training. The United States Senate is one of both chambers in the U.S. Congress (the other being the House of Representatives) and it is considered as the more deliberative body.  It possesses the constitutional ability to approve budgets, authorize nominees, and vote on bills that impact every aspect of American society.  Within CACMUN, this committee replicates the modality of the USS by enabling delegates to take on the positions of U.S. Senators, arguing for their states and parties whilst tackling topics of national importance such as government expenditures and historical legislative reforms. The mission is to immerse delegates in the intricate details of American governance, such as: party discussion, veto threats, amendments, and reaching an agreement. It will differ from conventional MUN in its layout, concentrating on domestic bills, and the use of specific to the Senate language.
