House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) spoke with The Daily Caller about the GOP’s ‘Day One’ promise to the American people; they’re going to get the answers the American people deserve, he says.
“A House Republican majority will be ready on day one to exercise Article I authority to hold the Biden administration accountable.” McCarthy said that “every congressional committee has an oversight responsibility, and under a Republican majority we will finally get the answers the American people deserve.”
From The Daily Caller:
House rules function by a two-thirds, one-third split on committee staff between the majority and minority. So even though there’s currently a small majority of only a couple of seats, it’s still a two-thirds to one-third split, which means that Republicans are in a position to double their staff.
Behind closed doors, McCarthy has told the ranking members on committees that when they are adding staff, they should first prioritize increasing the size of their oversight staff with counsels and investigative talent. Since Republicans have been in the minority and, with this in mind for a while, the committees have already started preparing for an avalanche of investigations.
The Caller got statements from top Republicans on a number of important committees. There have been training sessions, meetings with freshmen members and presentations about constitutional limitations and how oversight actually works.
