investigatory power

Read a random definition: Short cause

A quick definition of investigatory power:

Investigatory power: Congress has the ability to investigate things even though it is not specifically written in the Constitution. This is because the Constitution allows Congress to do things that are necessary and proper to carry out its job of making laws. This power is called investigatory power.

A more thorough explanation:

Investigatory power

Investigatory power refers to the authority of Congress to conduct investigations even though it is not explicitly stated in the Constitution. This power is derived from the necessary and proper clause, which allows Congress to investigate in order to carry out its legislative duties.

One example of Congress using its investigatory power is the Watergate scandal in the 1970s. Congress conducted an investigation into the actions of President Nixon and his administration, ultimately leading to his resignation.

Another example is the investigation into Russian interference in the 2016 presidential election. Congress conducted hearings and interviews with various individuals in order to gather information and make legislative decisions regarding election security.

The examples illustrate how Congress can use its investigatory power to investigate matters that are relevant to its legislative duties. In both cases, Congress conducted investigations in order to gather information and make decisions regarding legislation. The necessary and proper clause allows Congress to use its investigatory power in order to carry out its duties effectively.

Minus those random R decisions from UMN yesterday though right? I wonder what happened there. I don’t think I’ve seen a school start the season out with anything but As on here
almost all of my apps have been UR for 6 weeks at this point I feel exhausted waiting for them to finish
Irvine is being snobby and wont start any review until end of Nov.
Yeah, it’s tough. I’m distracting myself by playing good video games after work :)
im distracting myself by schizo-scrolling r/lawschoolamissions and every conceivable data point on this godforsaken website
it is not working
Haaa I naturally want to do that too. I’m trying to stop. They need a surgeon general’s warning on this site for perspective law students
i spend more time on here then anything else trying to rationalize that the waves from last year will match waves for this year (they won't) and that the stats of people with the same stats are indicative of my own (they aren't)
There aren't many people in my stat range so I pretty much know every result in my range after being on here for a few years

I mean if Fordham doesn't release today I will purposefully get on a train, go to new york, and then take the stinkiest shit inside the admission office's toilet (potentially clogging it and forcing them to get a plumber)
