The United States Senate Committee on Appropriations is a standing committee of the United States Senate. It has jurisdiction over all discretionary spending legislation in the Senate. The Senate Appropriations Committee is the largest committee in the U.S. Senate, with 30 members in the 117th Congress. Its role is defined by the U.S. Constitution, which requires "appropriations made by law" prior to the expenditure of any money from the Treasury, and the committee is therefore one of the most powerful committees in the Senate. The committee was first organized on March 6, 1867, when power over appropriations was taken out of the hands of the Finance Committee.

  • Das U.S. Senate Committee on Appropriations ist ein ständiger Ausschuss des Senats der Vereinigten Staaten, der für die Bereitstellung finanzieller Mittel zuständig ist. Der Ausschuss ist dabei für alle nicht gesetzlich vorgeschriebenen Ausgaben zuständig. Der Ausschuss ist mit 30 Mitgliedern nicht nur der mitgliederstärkste des Senats, sondern auch einer der mächtigsten, da sämtliche Ausgaben der Regierung verfassungsgemäß erst durch ein Gesetz beschlossen werden müssen, für das der Ausschuss zuständig ist. Er existiert seit 1867, als dieser Bereich der legislativen Arbeit vom getrennt wurde. Insbesondere der Vorsitzende verfügt über eine große Machtfülle, die er nutzen kann, sowohl um seinem eigenen Staat Vorteile zu verschaffen, als auch um anderen Senatoren Gefallen zu tun oder zu erhalten, die eigene Projekte fördern möchten. Während Ted Stevens aus Alaska beispielsweise sechs Jahre Vorsitzender des Ausschusses war, erhielt der Staat pro Einwohner 12.000 Dollar an öffentlichen Mitteln, das Doppelte des nationalen Durchschnitts.

  • The United States Senate Committee on Appropriations is a standing committee of the United States Senate. It has jurisdiction over all discretionary spending legislation in the Senate. The Senate Appropriations Committee is the largest committee in the U.S. Senate, with 30 members in the 117th Congress. Its role is defined by the U.S. Constitution, which requires "appropriations made by law" prior to the expenditure of any money from the Treasury, and the committee is therefore one of the most powerful committees in the Senate. The committee was first organized on March 6, 1867, when power over appropriations was taken out of the hands of the Finance Committee. The chairman of the Appropriations Committee has enormous power to bring home special projects (sometimes referred to as "pork barrel spending") for their state as well as having the final say on other senators' appropriation requests. For example, in fiscal year 2005 per capita federal spending in Alaska, the home state of then-Chairman Ted Stevens, was $12,000, double the national average. Alaska has 11,772 special earmarked projects for a combined cost of $15,780,623,000. This represents about four percent of the overall spending in the $388 billion Consolidated Appropriations Act of 2005 passed by Congress. From 2001 to 2021, every Senate Majority Leader has been a previous or concurrently-serving member of the Appropriations Committee: Tom Daschle (committee member, 1991–1999; majority leader, 2001–2003), Bill Frist (committee member, 1995–2002; majority leader, 2003–2007), Harry Reid (committee member, 1989–2006; majority leader, 2007–2015), Mitch McConnell (current committee member; majority leader, 2015–2021).
