legislative investigation

Read a random definition: association-in-fact enterprise

A quick definition of legislative investigation:

A legislative investigation is when a group of people who make laws (called a legislature) look into something to help them make better laws. They can ask people to come talk to them and answer questions, and if someone doesn't do what they're asked, they can get in trouble. It's kind of like a court, but it's done by people who make laws instead of judges.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: A legislative investigation is a formal inquiry conducted by a legislative body as part of its legislative authority. This means that a legislature has the power to investigate matters related to its legislative duties, such as the creation of laws and oversight of government agencies.

For example, a legislative body may conduct an investigation into allegations of corruption within a government agency or the misuse of public funds. During the investigation, the legislature has the power to subpoena witnesses and documents, cross-examine witnesses, and hold witnesses in contempt if they refuse to cooperate.

Another example of a legislative investigation is the impeachment process. In the United States, the House of Representatives has the power to impeach a government official, such as the President, for "high crimes and misdemeanors." This process involves a formal investigation by the House Judiciary Committee, which may include the subpoenaing of witnesses and documents.

These examples illustrate how a legislative investigation is a powerful tool that allows a legislature to fulfill its duties and hold government officials accountable for their actions.
