They'd realize the shenanigan they just pulled in the House of
Representatives will be used against them during the Presidential
campaigns.

Good ;-)


Pondering... WHERE in the Constitution is Congress empowered to
subpoena members of the Executive Branch?

Or, for that matter subpoena anyone, COURTS issue subpoenas, NOT
legislative bodies.


US Constitution, Article 1, Section 8

"The Congress shall have power .... To constitute Tribunals inferior to
the supreme Court"

If this goes to the Supreme Court, Congress will lose ;-)

Yep, INFERIOR. And, if you're capable of paying attention, it's three
EQUAL divisions of the government,

IIRC Jefferson is the first President to tell Congress to "shove it"
;-)
