Article 1, Section 2, Clause 5

[PostmodernProphet]

You are lying, and you know it. Show us the law that requires a vote

Jarod inadvertently provided authority.....see #82......

 

[Jarod]

The foreign affairs committee can issue subpoenas on anything relating to foreign affairs.

The House Intelligence committee can issue subpoenas on anything related to the intelligence agencies.


Starting to see how this works?!?

There is no impeachment committee but the things they are investigating call into the broad subject matters concerning the committees that are investigating Trumps conduct.

How so fool?

[Jarod]

If you are sure, then you can provide the details giving them the power.

But given it specifically states it must be authorized by its chamber, I am guessing you are full of shit.

Are you suggesting that the house intelligence committee cannot issue subpoenas relating to intelligence agencies unless the entire House votes?

 

[PostmodernProphet]

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.

to be fair, they can inquire all they want........however they cannot subpoena witnesses or documents.......

Sure they can, read above if it’s related to the broad areas the committees are already authorized to investigate.

 

[PostmodernProphet]

Thats the point there is no law, either way. You lose again

so you admit you have no law empowering anyone to issue subpoenas......

 

[Grokmaster]

The House decides how to go about impeachment, not the president!

They can inquire; but it is NOT an "impeachment inquiry" without a vote?

^^ Priceless!

 

[PostmodernProphet]

NOWHERE does it say anything about a vote

what do you think "authorized by its chamber" means......

 

[PostmodernProphet]

Prove that that means a vote. I am sure a committee head or chair can authorize their own investigation.

sure they can......but they can't get a subpoena without authorization of the chamber......do you know what the chamber of the House is?......

they can call it an impeachment inquiry......they can call it the SuperBowl........however, they cannot issue subpoenas or demand documents.......

Are you suggesting the house intelligence committee cannot issue subpoenas regarding anything related to the intelligence agencies, without a full House vote?

If so you are stupid!

Agreed. As spelled out in Trumps legal advisor's letter to Pelosi:

What do you think must be authorized by its chamber means???

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.

 

[PostmodernProphet]

False, The power of the house to issue subpoenas does not come from the fact of it being voted on as an impeachment investigation. Silly. If you’re truly a lawyer you know better than that.

no subpoenas without the authorization by the chamber.......show us the authorization issued by the chamber......YOU provided the citation......

Right and the House intelligence committee is so authorized, they were authorized when the committee was formed. Stupid if you think they are not authorized in the broad category of intelligence.
