This is a list of active joint United States congressional committees.
Each party determines their committees leads, who serve as chair in the majority and ranking member in the minority.
The joint committees alternate between the chambers, with the majority lead in one serving as chair and the other as vice chair (and their respective minority opposites in the other chamber as ranking member and vice ranking member).
The table below lists the tenure of when each member was selected for their current term as committee lead.
The Republican party rules stipulate that their leads of standing committees may serve no more than three congressional terms (two years each) as chair or ranking member, unless the full party conference grants them a waiver to do so.
