You do understand that the Speaker is the individual chosen to lead the majority in the House, right? Like Ryan was before he quit? Did you complain when he was Speaker that he was being way too bossy, or is that just reserved for female Speakers? lol

"First, the committee's investigation of the broad subject area must be authorized by its chamber; second, the investigation must pursue "a valid legislative purpose" but does not need to involve legislation and does not need to specify the ultimate intent of Congress; and third, the specific inquiries must be pertinent to the subject matter area that has been authorized for investigation."

Bam... now run away moron.

The committees are authorized in their broad subject areas. Are you claiming that has not happened?
 
Truth Detector said:
Yes, it does. You cannot have an impeachment inquiry without a floor vote and by having secret closed door meetings excluding the Presidents Party. Moron. :rolleyes:

Are you trying to change the subject again? How many straw men will you create today? Did you not just proclaim that the quote was 'wrong'? Are you running away from your previous comment Garud?

Are you embarrassed now that you found out it was the very next paragraph from the link you provided your quote from?

As announced in Wilkinson v. United States,[7] a Congressional committee must meet three requirements for its subpoenas to be "legally sufficient." First, the committee's investigation of the broad subject area must be authorized by its chamber; second, the investigation must pursue "a valid legislative purpose" but does not need to involve legislation and does not need to specify the ultimate intent of Congress; and third, the specific inquiries must be pertinent to the subject matter area that has been authorized for investigation.

If it isn't a formal investigation, then they have no right to issue subpoenas

I was wondering about this. If there is a so called inquiry or a so called investigation by one party of the house, and nothing is formal, where do they derive the power of subpoena?

Seems they believe they can just willy nilly issue subpoenas. How Russian of them.
 
Jarod said:
Subpoenas

Congressional rules empower all its standing committees with the authority to compel witnesses to produce testimony and documents for subjects under its jurisdiction. Committee rules may provide for the full committee to issue a subpoena, or permit subcommittees or the chairman (acting alone or with the ranking member) to issue subpoenas.
