Is Congress effective in exercising legislative oversight of the federal bureaucracy? By: Tanner Roach, Logan Seagraves, Alexis Rampy, and Brooke Worsham

Is Congress effective in exercising legislative oversight? ► Yes, Congress is effective most of the time but they fail at times. They are effective mainly through its congressional committee system. ► Standing Committees makes Congress effective because they have oversight responsibility of agencies and programs. ► Congress is also effective through budgetary review, committee clearance, controls on personnel, investigations, and public hearings.

Exercising Oversight ► Can decide how funds are distributed and where they should go. ► Can change jurisdiction of agencies. ► Laws are set up to monitor bureaucracy behavior and an example of this is the Administrative Procedure Act of 1946 which governs the way agencies may propose and establish laws.

Exercising Oversight ► Authorization, appropriations, investigative, and legislative hearings by standing committees; specialized investigations by select committees; and reviews and studies by congressional support agencies and staff are more ways that Congress exercises oversight of the federal bureaucracy.

Failure ► An example of a failure to exercise legislative oversight is The Watergate Scandal. This was a political scandal during the 1970s in the United States resulting from the break-in of the Democratic National Committee headquarters at the Watergate office complex in Washington, D.C. ► If Congress would have done their job, this wouldn’t have happened.

Failure ► Congress has also recently failed to exercise oversight due to partisan politics. Another example of a failure to exercise legislative oversight is the government’s response to hurricane Katrina. The government is supposed to act quickly and efficiently in times of need and they didn’t in this situation.
