"As I have said where is oversight mentioned in the Constitution?"

I already gave you the Article, section, and the clause, the founders clause, as well as a USSC decsision affirming the implied power. You do know what an implied power is?

Let me help you: A political power not expressly named in a constitution but that is inferred because it is necessary to the performance of an enumerated power. Yes, common sense is truly dead.

Maybe you should look up the word oversight in the dictionary because there is no power granted to Congress implicitly or implied that makes them the Supreme supervisors of either of the other two branches or that any other branch needs their approval for the execution of its own Constitutional power.

Congress has the right to pursue information and/or conduct investigations but it is not a Constitutional power of theirs to be supervisors of the Constitutionand all actions of the other two branches as you seem to think.
