Congressional caucus
A congressional caucus is a group of members of the United States Congress that meets to pursue common legislative objectives. Formally, caucuses are formed as congressional member organizations (CMOs) through the United States House of Representatives and governed under the rules of that chamber. In addition to the term caucus, they are sometimes called coalitions, study groups, task forces, or working groups.〔(Congressional Member Organizations: Their Purpose and Activities, History, and Formation ) Congressional Research Service〕 Many other countries use the term "parliamentary group"; for example, the UK Parliament has an all-party parliamentary group.
==Party conferences==
The largest caucuses are the party conferences, which are the partisan caucuses comprising all members of one house from one party (either the Democrats or the Republicans). These are the House Democratic Caucus, House Republican Conference, Senate Democratic Caucus, and Senate Republican Conference.
The caucuses meet regularly in closed sessions to set legislative agendas, select committee members and chairs, and hold elections to choose various floor leaders. They also oversee the four Hill committees, political party committees that work to elect members of their own party to Congress.
