Hearings and mark-up sections (change the bill to make it better) Can announce that you are going to filibuster a bill without having to stand up and talk. Conference committee (if they pass bills with big differences) Takes the bill that was passed by the house and the bill from the senate and the puts them together to try and make them the same bill.
