It either is in the consitution or isn't in the consitution."Oversight also derives from the many and varied express powers of the Congress in the Constitution. It is implied in the legislature's authority, among other powers and duties, to appropriate funds, enact laws, raise and support armies, provide for a Navy, declare war, and impeach and remove from office the president, vice president, and other civil officers. Congress could not reasonably or responsibly exercise these powers without knowing what the executive was doing; how programs were being administered, by whom, and at what cost; and whether officials were obeying the law and complying with legislative intent."
It basically is, Marener.
It's not. There is no "basically" at all. It's not.
It's no different than executive privilege.
My only point is that saying something "isn't in the constitution" is a very weak argument.
