Article 1, Section 2, Clause 5

[Jarod]

Link us up to where they can issue subpoenas without an investigation.

Are you claiming this is not an investigation? Do you think, in your small little head, that every investigation the house does is voted on by the entire house?

[Jarod]

Subpoenas

Congressional rules empower all its standing committees with the authority to compel witnesses to produce testimony and documents for subjects under its jurisdiction. Committee rules may provide for the full committee to issue a subpoena, or permit subcommittees or the chairman (acting alone or with the ranking member) to issue subpoenas.

Please show us exactly where she said that!!

She has refused repeatedly to hold a vote. A vote that allows debate on the House floor, a vote that drafts exact language of the resolution (instead of allowing this witch hunt)... and most importantly, allows the Republicans to also have subpoena power as past impeachment efforts have done.

There is a reason the Dems are hiding from the vote. Until both parties have subpoena powers, then Dem subpoenas are worthless.

Bam, now run away!

So, now are you changing your argument? Are you admitting they have subpoena powers?

"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."

Bam... now run away moron.

No moron, You are simply too ignorant to comprehend what has been said.

it's not a fact finding investigation,it's about removal from office -the dems are quite clear about that

There is no such thing as a "committee inquiry on impeachment" -it's a made up term unless there is a vote to impeach
The Dems are breaking precedent on Impeachment both for Nixon and Clinton.

why are you afraid of a vote?

I am stating clearly that this is not a formal investigation as no vote has been had to initiate it. If so, then both sides would have subpoena powers. But the Dems are running scared.

Also moron... pretending this is just another investigation shows what a political hack you are. Impeachment of the President isn't just any old investigation. BOTH parties have the right to subpoena witnesses in the case of an impeachment investigation. But Pelosi and your other masters are running scared and don't want to hold a vote... why is that GARUD?

Garud, like his masters, is afraid to of a vote. A formal vote means a debate on the House floor, it means they have to draft an exact resolution and it means both parties have subpoena powers. No way the Dems are going to let that happen given they know this is yet another sham.

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

[Truth Detector]

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

The House has already set the precedent. Democrats having closed door meetings and not calling for a floor vote are not a part of that precedent.

The Party of the Jackass are painting themselves into a corner they cannot get out of if they continue down this partisan path of lies and innuendo.

Where did you get your quote? Because that is not true, they constantly investigate things without voting weather to investigate it.

I am not. You are. show us the law that lets them hold a formal impeachment investigation without a vote.
