Democrats battle White House over executive power and congressional oversight by alexnazaryan

WASHINGTON — Attorneys for House Democrats on Friday challenged the Trump administration on its claims of executive powers, in two court hearings that, while not directly related to the impeachment inquiry into President Trump, could come to influence the Senate trial that is expected to begin shortly.

In both cases, the question is the same: Just how far do congressional oversight powers extend into the executive branch? David Rivkin, a partner at Washington firm BakerHostetler who has written articles critical of the impeachment inquiry, told Yahoo News that administration’s line of argument was in harmony with the constitutionally described separation of powers.

At the same time, Griffith lamented the “broad-scale defiance” of the Trump administration, which has categorically refused to honor congressional subpoenas issued by Democrats. In the impeachment inquiry, key figures like acting White House chief of staff Mick Mulvaney and White House budget chief Russell Vought both refused to testify.
