No it doesn’t and no matter what else happens they are not traitors.
No, it isn’t. The word “oversight” appears exactly zero times in the US Constitution.

WuWei:It’s not “equal” nor was it every intended to be. It is separation of powers, not equality of powers.
The House has powers
The Senate has powers
The executive has powers
The judiciary has powersThey are not the same powers.
And one of the powers of Congess is oversight of the Executive.
No it is not.
Yes it but opinion noted

Oversees, investigates, and makes the rules for the government and its officers
Has sole power of impeachment (House of Representatives) and trial of impeachments (Senate); can remove federal executive and judicial officers from office for [high crimes and misdemeanors]"(High crimes and misdemeanors - Wikipedia)
That is the power of oversight granted in the Constitution

No it is not. It is simply not in the Constitution.
Yes it is. Is the description below not oversight?
“Oversees, investigates, and makes the rules for the government and its officers.”
It’s one of 3 branches of government, it’s a check on the congress to prevent it from having too much power, as the congress can also do.
It’s NOT a crime, it’s sometimes a duty. Of course, it’s a crime for a republican President, but NEVER a democrat President.
In fact, a democrat can commit almost any crime & not be held accountable, you know, like Hillary, Bill, Obama, the Biden’s, & many others.
Yes. It’s the President’s job to ignore the rightful duties of Congress. Run with that…

You can make that argument and I reject it. It is not “oversight”, it is punishment. Or a correction if you prefer. There have only been 3 cases in history.
Impeachment only serves one objective.

Is it the rightful duty of congress to tell the President how to conduct foreign policy?
not “oversight
sikofit: WuWei:Separation of powers. Separate powers. Not one above the others.
That’s not what you said earlier
WuWei:It’s not “equal” nor was it every intended to be. It is separation of powers, not equality of powers.
Huh? It’s exactly the same thing.
No its not, if they aren’t equal then one has to be on top.
WuWei:not “oversight
Quote chapter and verse of the Constitution that gives Congress oversight of the Executive. Hint: it’s not in there.
There is also nothing in there that says the executive must answer subpoenas from congress. Congress doesn’t run the executive branch.
Nor does congress have to report to the White House if summoned.

I’m sure you think so.
There are checks and balances, not supervision and pre-approvals.

Emphasis mine. Do you know what the word means?
