Oppose Committees of the Senate do not "adopt resolutions." They report bills to the full Senate. Hipocrite (talk) 15:22, 1 May 2014 (UTC)
- @Hipocrite: Since the nominator appears to have retired. I'll take this one over. What do you think a good alternate proposal for the hook should be? Étienne Dolet (talk) 17:16, 1 May 2014 (UTC)
- I lack the requisite knowledge base, nor the ability to confirm any of the purported facts in the article that would be required to write a valid hook. I merely know how the US Senate operates. Hipocrite (talk) 17:20, 1 May 2014 (UTC)
- @Hipocrite: I changed the word adopt to approved. Better? Étienne Dolet (talk) 17:22, 1 May 2014 (UTC)
- I'm sorry, but that's also not true. The committee reported the bill to the full senate. You can review our article on how the US Senate committee system works at US_Senate#Committees. Committees do not approve or adopt or pass bills. They amend them and report them. Hipocrite (talk) 17:30, 1 May 2014 (UTC)

Well written and well referenced, and appears free of any copy-right issues. I edited the article and rewrote the hook to address the concerns voiced above.--¿3family6 contribs 01:51, 13 May 2014 (UTC)
