Joe Biden will prove to be a good leader at this point, following the four years of muck, and disgraceful, ignorant lies of the 6th grader who thought he could ever make an adult decision for our country.

A democracy only holds strong only when the people employ constant and rigorous scrutiny and accountability of its elected officials.
We can only move forward. I am optimistic we will regain some of all we lost and, all for nothing more than a has been bully.

The House Committee on Oversight and Reform was Congress' avenue for oversight. It was chaired by House Democrat Carolyn Maloney. Here is a link to the committee's work and the issues that were investigated:The first impeachment came out of the work of this committee.

The formation of this committee is attributed toe implied elements of the Constitution that employs the checks and balances of the Executive Branch, along with the amendment establishing term limits. Challenges in the courts offered the second leg of oversight. The third was from the voters who voted for Congressional changes and resulted in the outcome of the election and Biden.
The fourth estate would be considered the fourth, informal source of oversight.

Re: Trump supporters stormed Capital Hill
Thank you, mom, but I have followed politics and procedures for 50 years. My question was more about the specific people working on these committees, and their moral obligations to the country. Integrity has also gone by the wayside. We can hope those holding offices and chairing committees in the next generation will find the values we seem to have lost.
