Offices of members of the majority party are located in the Capitol and those of the minority party in the State Office Building, connected by tunnel just to the west of the Capitol. Senate committee meetings are held in the Capitol. ==Powers== In addition to its legislative powers, certain appointments by the governor are subject to the Senate's advice and consent. Appointees may serve without being confirmed by the Senate, unless the Senate rejects the appointment.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 title=Creation and Organization of Executive Branch Agencies )〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Minnesota Senate」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
