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.
