Didnt fly right pass me but I do not agree with your interpretation of it meaning that Congress somehow are the supervisors of themselves and the other two branches.
Your posts are getting more and more insultive and I no longer have time to continue this right now.
Thanks for the discussion (hopefully another time we can continue it) and have a Merry Christmas!
It doesn’t matter if “it” flies past you, what is established has been since the first Congress through implied powers. What Congress passes and the President signs gets (Or suppose to) checked.
What, is the Executive Branch suppose to take all the money/abuse all the laws and demand Congress look the other way? If you say no, welcome to the world oversight through implied powers (In order that enumerated powers can OPERATE efficiently). If you say yes, welcome to a corrupt government.
I take corruption seriously. The fact that all these Branches have different functions and different kinds of oversight does not register to you.
The Executive Branch takes the money, diverts it through various departments, in charge of executing the laws, and other such powers like negotiating treaties.
The Legislative Branch is in charge of, to save my fingers Ar.1, section 8, impeachment/conviction, etc...
Oversight on Congresscritters by an investigation dept. of Executive Branch consist of corruption, bribes, and other laws if one or a group working together break. Hence we are not looking at various departments etc. they are looking for individuals, all these guys do is create stuff, to often times, spend on things they favor.
Oversight on the Exec. Branch consist of departments being managed correctly by not themselves but by Congress (As well as other Exec. Dept.), laws the Leg. pass are be followed correctly, and that abuses are not occurring. To deny this responsibility is asking for bad government with no responsibility what so ever. You actually approve of this? Good grief. Are you a relative of a Truman Administration employee that got busted by an oversight committee for abusing funds?
What is your take on the mid 1990’s IRS abuses found by a congressional oversight committee which led to reform protecting the tax payer? I guess all that stuff was unconstitutional in your eyes (Bad Congress, sticking your nose in the Executive's business).
