Dems quietly restrict GOP ability to investigate White House actions on Afghanistan, border crisis
Fox News
Republicans are furious over moves quietly made by Democrats on the House Rules Committee that have stymied congressional abilities to conduct oversight on the executive branch.
The oversight tool is traditionally utilized by the minority party in Congress to request information from the executive branch.
After the inquiry is filed it is sent to the relevant committee, which has 14 days to respond. If the committee fails to address the inquiry it is then sent to the House floor as a "privileged resolution" – a move that was first obstructed under the previous administration.
